When you use the word “called” often time people think you are crazy or that it just applies to “ministry.”
I don’t think that’s true. I think everyone is called to do something. To create, to write, to learn, to parent, to teach, to sing….the list goes on.
The one thing I am certain of in my life is the calling that has been placed on my life to teach. I taught middle school for many years and left when a lucrative offer came my way for a career change. In that new career I continued to teach…but now adults.
I have ventured out into a new arena. Women’s bible study. Last night I started a group and we are studying, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, by Joanna Weaver. It is a wonderful book that was given to me a few years ago and I have always wanted to share it with a group of women. And we started last night.
It was wonderful! We have a fantastic group of about 12 women, all very different. All bringing wonderful stories and perspectives to the table.
I am so honored to be a part of this dynamic group of women. I pray that I am up to the task to facilitate and lead all to a deeper understanding of the Word of God.
