New Career Direction??
Ok so I've been thinking about what i could have as a career. This might be a bit odd but I've really been thinking about something with the Church. I dont know what exactly because i dont think i would be able to stand up in front of a crowd and preach. But its really hit me that whenever i'm doin something with the church it makes me incredibly happy. That feeling hasnt faded and i could always have photography as a hobbie, something that i could possible make some money from that. I wouldnt know how to tell my mom that i want to because i dont think she would ever really understand how amazing it is to have a relationship with God. Although i dont think i would be ready to go to CPC just yet. I would want to have more knowledge of the bible and a closer relationship with God. But thats all i can blab out for now anyways. Let me know if u have any ideas for what i can do at the church.

Hey Tif,
I want to tell you a story, I'll try and keep it short. A few years ago when I made this discovery that not only did I want to be in the 'chuch' dooing ministry, but that God called me to it, I was extremely excited. I told alot of people, it's good to do that, they can see a fire in you than, a passion for Christ, and they may try and feed that fire in you. Although, I also had a few people who were dooing what they call at CPC and everywhere else these days(You spelt it CBC, he he) Lay ministry, these people told me, "There are many forms of ministry Travis, you may not be in the chucrch as you share Jesus with the world. Infact the possibility that you will is unlikely." Ouch, talk about dashing out the litle fire that God had just put in me. But I just ignored them and pushed my thorugh the crowd and got envolved in 'chruch' ministry as soon as I could. I did get in it young, but it was what God wanted for me. And now here I sit waiting in a class room at Central for my next class. Those people may have been slightly right, I know I can preach from a pulpit, but it is not a desier of mine right now, I dont want to be the Pastor of 'such and such church', we need those, but its not for me. There are plenty of posibilities though to be part of the Chruch Ministry outside of Pastoring a Church. Although my disiers, hopefully led by God, may change at any time, I want to share my Jesus with our generation, here in Canada and beyond. A youth Pastor?? Maby, I dont know right now, God is only revealing to me what I need to know to get by day by day. Where can you get envoloved?? Well, what are your interests other than Photography (also a hobby of mine)? There is a place for everyone everywhere in the chruch of Jesus Christ these days. We seem to 'need' (I use that word loosely) new innovative ways to share God all the time. So dont be discouraged, realize you are only 18, like myself, and right now the possibilities of where God may take an obiedient servant, a child such as you and I, if we choose to be obedient, are endless. You are able to do anything you put your hands to as God leads you to do it. I am glad that your being envolved at Lawson makes you happy. That is cool. Well, I need to go, class starts soon. Talk to ya later.
