Vocation

I am sorry, dear friends, that I did not post last week. I have little excuse for not doing so, I simply forgot, shamefully.

I have learnt so much in these past few months. My life seems to be headed towards a brand new light. I am progressing. Before I was at a plateau. I believed in God, very mcuh so, but I was content with staying at that point. Now I am moving forward, becoming more of the man I was meant to be.
Because we are all meant to be something. This is what catholics call a vocation. We are all called to do something special and unique with our lives. I understand more then ever that my life is one of service to god and his people; in catholicism, service to god and his peopel requires tough decisions. Their are places for married men in the catholic church, but it feels like its still not completely normal. Even I have difficultly imagining what sort of life a man could carve outside of the priesthood or monastaries inside the church as a servant of god. But that is so much what I want and desire. I yearn to serve God.
How do we discern what we are suppose to do. I suppose there is no truly catchall answer. Every person is called to do something unique, and they are called in unique ways. But the best bet is too keep your heart open to the love of god. God will guide us to the truth if we wish.
