All of my research (yes, I actually research this stuff) leads me to two truths about being called by God:
- It involves an inner "rightness." It has to feel like it's the right thing to do. If it feels like it would be wrong, or contradictory to the Word of God (sin), then it isn't God's voice, it isn't the Holy Spirit, it isn't a "calling."
- It includes outward confirmation. In some way, things have to work out to make it possible to do what is necessary to fulfill the call. If too many things are working against you, then
- you likely are not being called by God, or
- it is a call, and Satan doesn't like it.
I suppose I just pray and wait. and keep mum until I am sure. No more spouting off about "husband should this, husbands shouldn't that. At least, for now, I'm going to lay low on the topic for a while, until I know more about whether or not I should be doing this.
...Later!
