Does anyone out there have a love for the Lord and desire to be a pastor (like me) only to the horrible realization one has not been called??? :o I'm just curious.
 
How, exactly, would you figure out---or come to the realisation---that you have not been called? :-?

Things like doors shutting (figuratively speaking, of course). Required criteria or actions needed cannot be met (or cannot figure how to meet them)

Maybe mans criteria is different than Gods. A person doesn't have to be standing in a pulpit surrounded by 4 walls to me a minister of the gospel, the world is our pulpit.
Maybe God isn't calling you to traditionalism, but to the divine appointments that happen in our daily lives. Think simplistic, if you have a passion God will make a way for it (maybe He already has). Traditional thinking can be a passion killer, think outside the box!

Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
