During this seven-year period of largely waiting and silence, there was one area in which I continued to hear God speak to me. I didn’t hear anything from God when I prayed about a ministry position. When I prayed for more opportunities to speak, teach, and write about his Word, I continued to hear, “Wait,” and “Not yet.” But when I prayed with open hands and open heart, “Lord, show me what you want me to do. Why have you called me?,” God continued to speak to my heart a call to help women (especially young women) called to gospel ministry. During this time, the one area that grew in intensity was a God-given desire to help and serve women whom God had called to ministry. I was beginning to see that perhaps a large part of my calling was to help train and raise up women for gospel ministry. At the same time, I continued to wrestle with the question, How can I help other women when I am not serving full-time in a church ministry position?
