Good news today...

So, if you read the last post... I am looking at getting back into youth ministry... I was wondering about my status with ordination and being a teaching elder in the PCA as I just wasn't sure what the deal was since I have been "without call" (the official way of saying I have not been serving as a minister in the PCA) for several years. Talked with a friend who got in touch with the clerk of the presbytery I served in and ...

I am a member in good standing and carried on the directory as a minister without call in good standing. Now, I just have to make the final call to pursue this calling and find a church to serve and then have my ordination transferred.

Hello?

Yeah, so it has been a long while since I've written anything. This is certainly not due to nothing going on in my life. Big things are afoot at the Circle K (gratuitous Bill and Ted's reference, always glad when I can work that in there) if you will.

I am on the verge of pulling the trigger to begin a search into a career change. As some of you may or may not know, I used to be a youth minister prior to working as an engineer. I went to work as an engineer during a time when I was trying to sort out what I should be doing. Should I be an full time minister or an engineer that volunteers with the local church? Recently, I have taken on a larger role as a volunteer with the youth ministry at the church and it has been incredible. The more I do, the more I love it. It is not that I hate my job, but it is definitely not something I love. I have some of the gifts to perform it well, but I also have the gifts and personality and passion for youth ministry.

So, I believe I need to pursue what I believe is the calling of God in my life. I'll try to do better of keeping this blog up to date.
