I went to an event today that talked about Vocation or simply "your calling" in life. Sometimes I think we can get bombarded with questions like: "So what are you going to do with your life?" or "What is my calling in life?". We ponder this over and over again and eventually get a headache, but the beautiful thing is we are not alone. This same event about Vocation used Christ as the center of this very decision, and that He is the one who will call you to something great. We must take silent time in our day to listen to God and our heart, and follow where we think He is leading us. Additionally, there are a few other things. I'll ask people, "What are you passionate about?", and then I will advise them to do something that allows you to do that. I know that sounds too simple, but I think it gets right to the point. But I also think that if we are open to a plan, we are being guided everyday, we just have to stop and think every so often. I will leave this pretty short and open-ended, but I think a quote can sum up our intentions in life and what we ultimately need to strive for. "Aim at heaven and you will earth thrown in; aim at earth and you will get neither." C.S. Lewis. Our ultimate goal is to get to heaven, and if we strive for that, then the steps and all our desires in life will be fulfilled.
Thanksgiving: good conversations with good friends
