God's "Calling"

A few of my dear friends were in town from Indiana this weekend. We had a wonderful time, and I think it made me miss them more once they headed back to Indiana. But nonetheless, one of my friends summed up the weekend perfectly by saying, "It rejuvenated my soul." That is truly what it did for me.

No matter how stressful or how difficult grad school was when I lived in Indiana (and obviously where I met these wonderful people), these two special women never failed to give me conversation that warmed my heart and soul. This weekend, it took me back to those late night Indiana conversations, heart-felt and sincere words, something I had missed from these two friends.

Of course, I get all of those things daily from husband...except they are Tennessee conversations :). He is the one person in life that can actually make me complete and make my heart whole. Being a young married couple, it does make me realize that I have a lot to learn (even though it's really hard for me to say out loud that I don't know something!). I have been through a whole lot in my life, but God shows me everyday that I can get better. I can, and with time I will be better and better each passing day for my husband that I'm 100% sure God made specifically with me in mind. Props to the Man upstairs.

I say all this to say that our "girl talk" led to the questions, "What is my calling in life? How do you define what a calling actually is?" With just about everything in life, there are many different ways to look at one topic, one word, one incident. Do any two people ever see one thing the same way? Maybe not. But that's what makes us unique. I am pretty clear in the fact that I have not yet found my calling. I think I know what I want it to be...but is that really what it is? I know one day God will show me, but I just don't think I'm quite ready yet.

From Carbine to Hammer, from Indiana back to Tennessee, God always takes you where you need to be.
