ROSEWOOD: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY
CHAPTER 5: Infancy and Early Childhood
One of the first things that occurred after I was born was the need for me to be fully trained and established in the transformation ministry. So, over the first year of my life, we attended weekly training sessions in Orlando specifically so that I could be used by God to facilitate the transformation ministry going forward.
It was a very important time in my early development, and God's hand directed this whole process. By the time I was two years old, regular classes for others in this healing and maturing ministry were happening in our home.
Several other significant developments also shaped my early childhood. The most profound was that God directed that I become independent from any established Christian denomination. God was moving me into kingdom ministry even before I fully understood what that meant. At the time, the only avenue for me was to become a parachurch 501c3 corporate entity in the State of Florida. As a result, there were others who came into my early life. Though the world called them a Board of Directors, they were like godparents for me. To this day, they are all very dear and special to me. Also, as most children my age begin school, I started meeting with others outside our home.
Along the way
God introduced me to several other tools that would serve to be helpful in my service to Him and others as I grew up. The most valuable and long-lasting of these came through the Freedom in Christ Ministry founded by Neil T. Anderson. Since it was such a simple way of bringing freedom and transformation to others and could be used in a variety of circumstances and for people of all ages, I began to practice using it and teaching others both young and old how to apply this tool.
My life seemed very secure and settled until some very unusual events caused everything to change. I will tell you about those things in my next sharing.
