I feel like this article was written specifically for me. In the past month, God has spoken a new calling into my life and has been confirming it in many ways. At first, when this calling was prayed over me out of the blue by an elder at church, I "ran" in fear and overwhelm to old dissociative habits, and then heard the specific words from God, "This is you running away from Ninevah." Since then, I have been praying into this new calling and surrendering to the daily steps moving me towards it. This article is more confirmation, yet again. I have copied down many sections from it to process and discern with further. Thank you

Brittany, it's amazing how God works through these moments of timing. Your experience mirrors Jonah's journey so closely—that initial fear and retreat, followed by the gentle yet clear nudge back toward your calling. What stands out is your courage in recognizing those old patterns and choosing to move forward despite the uncertainty. Taking those daily steps and surrendering to the process is exactly what faith looks like in action.

I'm grateful you've found confirmation in this article, and that you're taking time to process and discern rather than rushing.

May you continue to find guidance as you step into your own "Nineveh," whatever that may be, knowing that God's already there preparing the way ahead of you.

Makes me think of William Temple, "When I pray, coincidences happen; when I don't, they don't."
