a life in ministry can be crushing
i mean, it was a holiday! a day off, and there we were, giving selflessly of ourselves in order to establish a christian presence in the community.......

About Me
- Name: AMackid
- Location: Brisbane, Australia
i am the girl that can talk for hours about science fiction. i order a big mac, fries and a DIET coke. i leave my car windows open but lock the doors. i am a natural athlete, yet i cannot get a child-proof cap open without help. i am smart enough to build a nuclear reactor, but i still tie my shoelaces togther sometimes. i am routinely outsmarted by small appliances. i trip over "watch your step" signs. i had once believed the swiffer to be the pinnacle of human acheivement, but then i discovered mashed potatos in a bag....... i laugh too loud, i drink too much and i love too deeply.

Precisely, what do you mean?
just posted photos to illustrate the kind of suffering that goes hand-in-hand with a calling to ministry ;-)
no wonder so few people choose it!
What do you plan to do in the future in ministry?
i am hoping to become ordained in the anglican church of canada, and emigrate to australia and become a parish priest in brisbane.
my desired are simple. i only want to serve, and serve in oz!
yours?
Well, I've been considering taking a path in ministry or theology, but I'm not sure, you see, I'm only 14. I'll have to wait and see where life takes me, but whether or not I pursue a career in ministry or theology, I will always and forever be a devoted, faithful follower of the Lord Our God. For now I will be involved in my church and learn what I can.
serene... i was 7 when i first recognized the call. but i was 33 before i stopped running from it, and yet i stil struggle with it. you have loads of time.
I know I have time, and I keep telling myself that. But, sometimes people try to rush me into thinking that I need to have my life completely planned out already, but I know that's not true, I mean, I'm just beginning to look more deeply into different possibilities for a future career. Thanks.
A calling...people don't talk about that much do they? I know they used to, but I haven't heard much about a calling. How would you describe it?
well, at the ripe old age of 14, you are already "considering taking a path in ministry or theology"
what is the feeling inside you that makes you say that?
I suppose it could be a calling...it's like I feel it's something I'm meant to do...but not for a long while yet. I'll have to wait and see whether I run from it or face it.
sounds about right to me ;-)
Okay!
