First Blog Post!

I am about to move 470 miles away (my mother calculated that) to attend a seminary. A friend suggested I start a blog so friends I won't get to see as regularly can keep in touch more easily. She said she'll read it, so I said I'd start it.

I don't know what this will end up being, if anything, but it will have to develop in time.

A couple common questions I am getting right now with my move preparation:

Why are you moving?
God has called me to attend seminary. The one He called me to is 470 miles away.

What will you study?
I plan to work on a MDiv in Worldview and Apologetics

Will you be a minister when you finish?
No, my denomination does not ordain women as ministers. I agree completely with this position, and I'm sure will either post a link or explain that further in the future.

What will you do when you finish seminary?
I am open to whatever God calls me to do. I would love to work outside the U.S. I heard a couple of weeks ago that approximately 1.6 billion people have never heard that Jesus died to provide eternal salvation for all who will believe in Him. If you're a Christian, I hope that number takes your breath away.
If I don't leave the U.S., I would love to work with women in difficult situations, children, or with the poor in general. God calls us to serve one another.
I believe that whatever God calls me to do, He will give me the passion for that task.

Thanks for reading and for bearing with me while I learn how to operate this blog!

Because of His grace,

Amanda
