Thanks! I would also add, that I'm interested in hearing the experiences of those called to the ministry, and how/when that came about.

Also, for me its not necessarily a question of employment, as I am (praise God!) working and making a living. However, I don't necessarily desire to stay in my current field my whole life (legal assistant).
