How to Know God's Calling for YOUR Life (Even If You Feel Ordinary)
|
Does it ever feel like your life is nothing more than an endless to-do list for everyone else? The kids need something. The house needs something. Your husband could use five minutes of your full attention that you just don't have. Maybe you're leading a Bible study, or you said yes to a volunteer slot, or there's a workout you keep meaning to start and haven't yet. Every single thing on that list feels important. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, a quiet thought starts to settle in⦠You're nothing special. No one really notices what you do all day. Everyone else seems to have it together. You have nothing unique to offer, at least not right now, not in this busy, ordinary season. Maybe you've told yourself your real calling is still coming, once the kids are older, once you finally have more time and energy to go find it. Or maybe you've quietly wondered if you already missed your window. And that if you haven't figured it out by now, you're not going to. If any of that sounds familiar, today's episode is for you. On this week's episode of the Equipping Godly Women podcast, we're talking about how to know God's will for your life specifically, even when you feel busy, ordinary, or "behind." You'll see why a real calling doesn't need a platform, a title, or a season with more free time to count as real. And you'll get a simple set of questions to figure out what's actually yours to carry right now, today, in the middle of carpool lines and dishes and everything else. In this episode, we talk about:

Several years ago, I decided I wanted to get in the habit of reading the Bible with my kids. And lets just say... it was not going according to plan. Before I could read a word, my son RAN from the room, curled up in a corner, covered his ears, and started humming loudly so he couldn't hear me. "No! The Bible is boring!" Ignoring his overly dramatic, attention-seeking antics, I read a chapter of Acts out loud anyway. Each morning, I'd read one chapter, explaining as I went. Until one morning...
A while back, I did a little experiment. I logged into Instagram, started scrolling, and made a list of allllll the things I felt like I "should" be doing. I *should* eat healthier. I *should* exercise. I *should* figure out how to do my hair. I *should* do more crafts with my kids. I *should* be better at talking to my husband... In almost no time at all, I had a list of 20+ things I wanted to do, learn, or improve at. These weren't even pushy, shame-y accounts. (I don't follow those.) Just...
What if you woke up tomorrow and somehow had plenty of time for everything that matters most to you? You could start your day in prayer and Scripture, hit the gym for a sweaty workout, write in your gratitude journal, and/or enjoy a delicious, healthy breakfast. You could spend hours on work that's meaningful, where you feel capable and confident you're making a real difference. You could spend time making memories with the people who matter most to you. You could pursue the hobbies that...
