Dear Family and Friends, Its been a long three and a half years. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful support system in all of you. I want to especially thank my wife, Bethany VanderWall, who agreed to marry me before it all began and stuck through it with me, through thick and thin! I Love You so much! No words in any language can adequately express how much you mean to me, how much I am thankful for you each and every day, and how much I love you. To my family, Rick Vander Wall, Jonell VanderWall, Eric VanderWall, Kristeen Vander Wall, Shari Utting, Aubrey Utting, Andrew Utting, Emily Siriano, and Randy Utting (whom well get on facebook someday), that you for your love, support, and encouragement through the good times and the bad. I love each and every one of you! To Zion Reformed Church and Greg Brower, the church and pastor that sponsored me and continue to pray for me, you are the best and I couldnt have done it without you. To Overisel Reformed Church, and Scott Lokers (Susan Lokers), Cory Potter (Missi Potter), KristieandChris Postma & Stefanie VanderKooi (and Kathy Burton back in the day), and the whole praise team, where and with whom I have been working through seminary, thank you for supporting me in growth, allowing me to fail, and encouraging me throughout this whole journey. For the many friends who I could go on naming well into next year (I dare not name you all for fear of forgetting even one, those at Western Theological Seminary, Kuyper College, Metro Health Emergency Department, and so many other places, I cannot adequately express my thanks, for sticking by me even when I havent been around for you. Your friendships, even if Ive been distant from them, and your support mean the world to me. And for everyone else who has supported me in any way, thank you! Above all, I am thankful to God who both called me to this, sustained me through it, and has blessed me in all of it! It is with abundant joy and relief that I can officially say that I am done with seminary!
