This entire idea of “your calling” is something we American’s seem to love. We love the thought that we all have a calling that we were each designed for- Personally, I fall for this “hook, line and sinker.” I love the concept. Heck, as a christian and a business woman, I especially adore this thinking. In order to achieve the “optimum” life we need to be called. I have one time in my life felt “called” in terms of a “career” move. I believe it was destined. I know there is an ultimate plan for my life that when it all comes to an end, I will find the extraordinary details that were patched together absolutely mind-blowing.
I read recently that this “calling” business is really only found in first world countries- In other words, those across the world that do not have the same opportunities and privileges don’t even know what this means. To them, their “calling” is to live a life taking care of their neighbors and family. To feed for, to pray for, to love others. It’s that simple. I kind of like that.
I don’t want to call “all bets” off on our American thinking, but I do want to challenge us to consider this: What is being truly “called” mean to you?
Have an amazing day!
