When Michele Rigby Assad obtained a degree in Arab Studies, her family wondered how she would ever find a decent job. After a series of unlikely events, Michele was asked to become an undercover CIA operative.

For a Christian southern belle without international experience, this seemed unlikely and, yes, an unconventional calling. Yet, God began to make it clear that this was the call He had in store for Michele’s life.

1 Corinthians 7:17 teaches, “Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.”

God has a calling for each of us, even if it may be unconventional. If you’re in transition or grappling with your calling, don’t overlook those opportunities that may seem unlikely.
