10. Don’t compare your calling to other people’s calling. Yours will not look like yours. You may not be the one to save starving children, adopt orphans, or a mission trip to Haiti. Yours may be close to home, quiet calling. Trust that your gifts are being used how He wants them to be used.

My 10th tip would be….thank the Lord for the ways He has been faithful to guide me in the past when I have had to make decisions….and thank Him for this present decision and how the results will continue to lead me along the path He has for my life…

My 10th tip is if it’s something you think you can do, REALLY be careful. Most of the time when God calls us to partner with Him we KNOW in our gut right away how totally dependent we will need to be on His Spirit to empower and equip us for the call. More often than not, God rarely calls us to new challenges we can knock out of the park.

I just love you. I’m certain I’ve jacked up a lot of things in my almost 33 years, but I’m praying I get it right more often than not.

And if you’re deciding whether or not to travel to Ohio for a coffee date with me, I’ll help you out…DO IT. 😉 xoxo

In reply to Heather Dawkins. He is faithful...even when I'm not. :/ What grace. I love that you look back over your journals. It's so good to look back and see where He's brought us from and to. Thanks for sharing, Heather.

Love your blog.. Thank you for sharing truth & wisdom! I have learned that in the waiting, HE is teaching me to trust HIS faithfulness.. And as I look back in my journal over the waiting periods in my life, I’ve seen where HE was working.. HE is so faithful!

My 10th tip is to look at your gifting from him. He gets the most glory from our lives when we are working/living within our area of giftedness. All that to say, he will call us and enable us to use our gifts. If a decision involves being stretched OUTSIDE our area of giftedness, that might be a signal to hesitate. I’m not saying that God never does that, but he is pretty consistent in equipping us to handle what he calls us toward.
