calling & going

Matthew 4:18 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living.19 Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!"20 And they left their nets at once and followed him.
  21 A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too.22 They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.



Sometimes, God calls us to be or do something with little to no explanation. The reasons for why He's calling will be made plain later or along the way.

It's a trust thing. You have to trust Him for whatever He's calling you to be & calling you to do.

And you have to trust yourself that you heard right.

I'd rather make a mistake in hearing Him than not take a step of faith out of fear.
