If you have ever said, “Yes!” to the call of God upon your life, you know that, that is only the beginning of the journey.  The path from here to there is often filled with the unexpected; with the extra details that God didn’t reveal to you at the beginning for fear that you would run.  Truthfully speaking, the work of the ministry, though fulfilling, is often hard and lonely.  In fact, expect it to be so, for God promised both blessings and persecutions (Mark 10:30) to all who follow him.
