My Story: In January 2008, I left the national magazine where I worked for the past 20 years to devote my time and talents to coordinating internal and external communications for OEUMC. This is the next step beyond a leap of faith, which I made many years ago. It is about trusting God to fulfill His promises—the essence of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures—and reflects where I am right now on my spiritual journey. An article that I read recently describes a “calling” as the “inner urge to give your gifts away to something you feel purposeful or passionate about.”
