The Call? Appendix 2

Ok, so after a couple of weeks of no post I have some news to report. First, I apologize for the silence. I had finals. Secondly, the direction in which these posts will be written will change from this point.
The news is this. Regretfully I report that I am no longer wondering about ordination. After multiple conversations that were unscheduled and not strategically placed by me; I have become an enquirer in the PCUSA church.
Over the course of three weeks I had some very clear conversations with people that affirmed that taking the step of ordination was the step I should take. My frustration with the church and lack of clear call to a position remains but the notion of ordination is no longer vague to me. Several examples of conversations went like this.
The first is with a major supporter of my ministry. She approached me and said that she loves "The Call" blog. I asked her what I should do. She said with out hesitation, "be a campus minister." I thought this was a weird response to the content to my blog. So asked her a clarifying question, "should I get ordained?" Again she said without hesitation and without much worry, "sure, why not, but you are called to young adults." I thought about this exchange for a while. She clearly wasn't fretting over the issue as I was. So I thought well if a supporter of my ministry, one who knows my skills as well as anyone in the CCO thinks it isn't a big issue then why should I?
Another conversation with in an hour of this one was even more peculiar. A young lady with dreadlocks started a conversation with me. She was dressed very casually and asked some very casual questions about my life. It turned out that she was a PCUSA pastor and started a communal living house in the East End. Though when asking about possibilities of ordination I suggested that my membership with the PCUSA is with a church that currently closed its doors. She went on answering all of my church polity questions. She gave very detailed answers. That helped me see that starting ordination wasn't as tough as I once thought. This conversation almost gave me no excuse not to consider ordination. From a highly unlikely source I had my dogmatic excuses over church polity removed from why I should be at the very least an enquirer.
This does not mean that I feel confidant about being a pastor. Though it has been a major step forward.
