God Called Me… and Then Put Me on Hold For a Year
But I think I’m finally next in the queue
In September of 2019, I had a mountaintop experience at the top of an actual mountain, at the beautiful monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
There, on my first ever spiritual retreat, I felt a true call to return to the ministry I had left behind. I was sure God was calling me to preach again, for a world in crisis, a world that really needed my specific voice, for some particular reason. But it didn’t go at all the way it was supposed to.
God called me — I was sure of it. But then God put me on hold for, like, more than a year.
And I didn’t even get any of those annoying but helpful messages, like “Your call is important to us” or “Your hold time is approximately three months…” or whatever.
But I think I’m about to get put through now, so I’m just trying to get my thoughts together in case I actually do get a connection. Hopefully I can help others who might be in a similar predicament.
