Bible Note: I am in Alabama. And I wish I knew my calling. I felt like God was calling me to preach. I talked to my dad about it, and he feels like because I have a talent for writing that I should "stick" to that. I have had many dreams where I see myself preaching, and I even asked God What he wanted me to do and I heard him say "Just Preach". And he brought to my mind where it says preach the gospel to every creature. And I felt like God was telling me he didn't specify male or female. I know this sounds sooo dumb. I don't want to go against what my dad says so I prayed and I told God that I need something to happen before I could accept this. It would have to be revealed to my dad. He is my pastor after all. There have been times where I have come so close to backsliding, because I feel like I am rejecting God. I can be out somewhere and see someone, even people who don't speak English and the Holy Ghost screams PREACH. I cry myself to sleep most nights thinking about how many people are lost and need to hear. I just don't know what to do. |
