Samara’s Reviews > I Am a Leader: When Women Discover the Joy of Their Calling > Status Update

We have gifts to teach, preach, prophesy, serve, lead, and build. We are church planters, kitchen ladies, number crunchers, directors, and worship leaders. We are nurturing, assertive, maternal, and we are fierce. Many have tried to box us in…but when we look to Christ, we see cruciformity, love, grace, courage, and presence. Sure, try to box us in, but we are kingdom women, and we are diverse.

Instead of comparing, we should focus instead on clarifying — seeking God’s direction about our own calling and helping other women discover theirs.

True calling is an invitation to respond to God…not all of our dreams or passions automatically equate to a God-given calling.

God can call us in any way he wants, to anything he wants. He may call us to a purpose, a posture, a path, a group of people, or a specific position. Our responsibility is to develop listening ears and obedient hearts for whatever God wants to reveal, in whatever ways he chooses to reveal it.

Calling is really just following Jesus into whatever he is asking you to do in that season of life.

Calling is a God-given conviction about your life’s direction.
