Personal Testimony, Part 5

Somewhere during this time of renewal, God began to remind me of His call on my life. When God truly calls a person, His call does not expire. In my life, He remained quiet until I was ready to fully submit to His lordship. His reminder did not come dramatically, but rather in a slow, unfolding way. First, He gave me an insatiable hunger for learning. Then, he built upon that learning with a desire and a gift to teach. Finally, it was as clear as if He tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Remember how at one time I wanted you to preach? I still do.” Up until that point, I had not remembered the commitment I made years before at Glorietta. It was only after I renewed my relationship with God that He graciously, clearly, and quietly reminded me of His call.
