Are You in Pursuit of Your Calling?

I have talked to several people in the past few weeks about finding their calling in life. It seems to me that a lot of people are realizing earlier in their lives that they need to leave a legacy other than just success but of significance. I feel privileged to lead a program called The Master’s Program for Women here in the Twin Cities that addresses the issues of finding and pursuing one’s calling, success and significance. The program was created by Bob Shank about 20 years ago for men business leaders. Then the program was adopted for women about 13 years ago. I love this program because it is a three-year journey that takes into account your whole being and every aspect of your life. You can learn more about it at www.themastersprogramforwomen.org.

God created every person with a unique calling that only that person can do. That calling is separate from our “generic” callings of being a parent, a spouse, a brother or sister. It’s beyond that. It’s unique to each person based on their gifts, talents, and abilities. God uses all of it as a package and has a plan for each person to fulfill their calling.

If you don’t know what your unique calling is, I encourage you to pursue God and find out then do it! The pursuit takes a lot of time and it takes a lot of soul searching in addition to prayer. It’s never too late to start!
