Life Changing

[Rosebud]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica"]Hey guys! I really want to share this, so here I go. It started Wednesday. The freshmen and sophomores were going on their yearly campout. I am NOT a wilderness type person, so I wasn't planning on going. Well for some reason when this got around my class was really upset. So...I decided to get outside my comfort zone.

So, I went and I'm SO glad I did. I made some new friends, and bonded so much with friends I already have. We learned TONS about each other. It was awesome.

Well, Sabbath we had church service in the middle of nowhere. I mean, there's 25 members in this church. I was involved in leading song service, a skit for childrens story, and a group that did special music. I was running all over. Well, it was the sermon. I hae been struggling with some issues about my opinon about women pastors, because I thought God might be calling me to that particular service. I thought suddently, that could be me preaching someday upfront. All of the sudden I feel this overwhelming presence of God and His love. It was so strong it almost physically hurt. My eyes were drawn to a wall infront of the sanctuary. There was a banner hung there. I don't remember the exact wording but it was something like "Go make disciples, preach the gospel, and baptise them." I felt like it was a direct command. There's no way I can say no to God!

So that was my weekend. I just am sooo thankful my friends talked me into going.[/font]

It's a joy to see how the Lord is working in your life, And I thank Him for allowing you to share your experience with us!

I pray you will have even more wonderful experiences such as this.

The Great Commission, see Matt 28

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

The world has to hear about Jesus !

if you decide to go into preaching im right behind you all the way i feel that if god if you TRULEY feel that this is your calling you should not care about those around who say it's wrong cause if it's right to god then their the ones that are wrong, i have great respect for people who follow god's will and their heart, so if you KNOW he has called you to preach then i say AMEN and i think i can get quite a few to second that.
