Through the Waters
About this blog
Through the Waters is the blog of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Christian vocation ministries. Because the ministry of Christian vocation affirms the need for all baptized Christians – including Presbyterians - to identify and claim their call to discipleship in each decision and life choice, this blog is designed to serve as a resource for youth and young adults, as well as those in ministry with them, to assist the Holy Spirit in God’s movement in this journey through the waters. Take some time to read and think about your own responses to the questions posed here. For additional resources, we suggest that you visit our website.

A Home for Faith
Our family is in the process of looking for a new house. What a chore! We are blessed to be able to have certain qualities that we’re specific about and others for which we are more flexible. Where is it located? How many rooms? What is the price? We think about our comfort and, thankfully, don’t have too worry much about safety (we know we are in the minority in this one).
