An Introduction

My name is Rosalie. I love Jesus. He loves me. I want to spend every day sharing his love with his people.
But I don't know exactly how.
That's what the POD is about really, I guess. Should I become an ordained minister, or does God have other, better plans? Or maybe I just need to wait?
Some people say I am too young, others say my youth is an advantage.
I've just turned 20. I know I'm too young to be taken seriously. I know that the sensible, logical thing to do would be to do something else for 5 or 10 years. To get some life experience. But every time I try, road blocks come up, or I lose interest in it, or whatever.
I've known for so long that church ministry is where I am meant to be. I can't see myself anywhere else.
I don't know how that will work out though. Maybe I should just be volunteering in the church while working elsewhere. Maybe I should stay a youth pastor for a while longer before starting theological college. Maybe I should be exploring different denominations.
These are questions I hope to gain some clarity on this year.
This blog is for documenting my thoughts, and also to record my study adventures, and other things I do as a part of the POD. Some blogs may be private, but mostly I am happy for people to read and comment if they desire. One of the ways God speaks to us is through other people after all!
