Call and vocation session 2.
After our study day and reading chapter 1 of "this is our calling", and watching the short video, I have been reflecting on what is our call and vocation. Up until last Saturday I would have told anyone who would have cared to listen that God called me about 8 years ago, in fact I shared my story with you last week. One week later I know that that isn't true. God called me the moment I was born. God has a plan and purpose not just for me but for every person on this planet. Unfortunately I didn't hear that call until I was in my mid 50's. God was with me all the time I just didn't recognise it. I am still thinking this through, but if this is what week one has done the next two years are going to be very interesting.
Hi Chris, I was really interested to hear about your experience about your calling, something that resonated with me as well - I was wondering if there was a particular event that made God's call more evident in your mid 50's? For my journey, that was certainly the case.
Hi Chris, yes, I find it quite humbling to think that I have always had a purpose and a vocation, but that I have not always been listening or prepared to follow.
Thanks Chris. Doesn't mean you were wrong before, just that as we grow in faith we see more things and can apply them to our lives. Good reflection!
