You have a great job.
You’re thriving.
You’re respected by your peers.
To everyone else, it looks like you’ve “arrived”.
But deep inside, something is stirring.
It’s not dissatisfaction. It’s not ambition. It’s a divine whisper: “This isn’t all.”
This article is for thecareer woman who knows her current job matters but senses there’s a bigger assignment. A call to build something that outlives her role and résumé.
If that’s you, you may already be standing at the edge of your next assignment, without even realising it.
Here are 3 signs that show you are ready to step into God’s bigger assignment for you
1. You Feel a Tug… Even When Everything Looks “Fine”
On paper, your life makes sense. You’re delivering, trusted and respected. But in your heart, there’s a nudge that won’t go away.
You feel restless. Stirred. A holy unease.
That’s not confusion…it’s calling. It’s not a sign to run but an invitation to rise higher.
2. You’ve Started Helping Others Quietly and Naturally
You mentor colleagues. You guide friends through storms you once survived, and somehow, it feels easy and deeply fulfilling.
These aren’t random acts of kindness but breadcrumbs to your blueprint.
Now, you may even feel the desire to do more with it…to structure it or to scale it.
What feels casual to you may be life-changing for someone else. Don’t dismiss it.
3. You Keep Hearing God’s Nudge
You’ve felt it in prayer:
“Start the blog. Launch the mentoring circle. Write the book. Birth that platform.”
It feels bigger than you. Maybe scary. But guess what? That’s exactly how divine assignments show up, they demand faith not perfection.
If You’re Nodding Along… Here’s What You Need to Know
1. Your Job Is Not a Barrier
Your job isn’t in the way. Rather, it’s a seedbed.
It funds your vision, sharpens your resilience and builds your discipline.
That tough boss? Training.
That complex project? Strategy school.
That demanding season? Capacity stretch.
Everything you’ve learned is preparing you not just for promotion at work but for your higher assignment.
2. Your Purpose Is Not a Side Hustle
Purpose isn’t a hobby or a weekend project. It’s a divine mandate and contribution only you can make to your generation.
So please treat it with weight. Take action. Start small but be intentional, then scale quickly.
Why? Because there are lives waiting for what only you carry.
3. Your Journey Shouldn’t Be Lonely
Birthing purpose while thriving at work and home is beautiful but not easy.
You’ll face doubts, resistance and moments when quitting will feel easier than continuing.
That’s why you need support. Two things matter most – a coach to guide with clarity, strategy and accountability. Then, a community that sees you, believes in you and reminds you who you are when life gets loud.
You were not meant to do this alone.
This is why I write to you every week, to remind you that while your job matters, your assignment is bigger. You are made for MORE and can have it ALL, as long as that ALL is what God had in mind when He created you.
Until next week, when I’ll be back with more insights on merging your calling and career, keep saying YES to your MORE… and if you’re ready to journey deeper, connect with us at the Uncommon Woman Movement.
