you're a 36 -year-old,  you have 3 kids, a house, a job, a car.  One day you come home and tell your wife you have a call to go into the ministry.  What do you have to do..... you have to sell your house, sell your car, you probably have to move to another city.  You have to rely on God for all these things to happen.  You have to rely on Him to pay for seminary, for the funds to come in, to get a job there to support your family.  It won't make sense by the world standards, the way the world thinks.  They will question you... Why, would you do this???  The math won't work, the math will never work, but with Him, it will work.  

Awesome!!  Ryan called me that morning after he heard this and was almost in tears.  This is EXACTLY our situation.  He really felt the Lord talking to him and encouraging him, and saying... yes, Ryan, this IS your path.  Walk in it!  How gracious the Lord is for His encouragement.
