How would you describe your vocation? (Today)
My vocation today has been one of seminary student. Today has been busy. I had a good class today as we continued to examine Jesus from the point of view of the poor. I spent the better part of five hours, today alone, writing a paper for my class tomorrow. The paper was great in that I learned more about another faith tradition, but it also highlighted my ignorance about some aspects of other faith traditions. I guess that is why I am in school, right? I also was part of a meeting of the student leadership of the seminary. I have also spent a few hours practicing for the service that I will be doing in class on Wednesday. Nevertheless, once these few days are over there will be a bit of rest before gearing up for the final papers of my seminary career. So, yeah, my vocation today is as a student. Tomorrow may be different. Who knows?
Lord, help to see the many sides of my vocation and how they shift and change over time so that I can live to fullness that you have called me to. Amen.
