Vocation

A dirt pathway weaves through a forest.

Someone I admire recently shared something that I appreciated. After years of moving toward a helping profession, they said:

“It’s not an occupation; it’s a vocation. I felt the calling.”

I could hear the energy in those words and how much meaning they carried. Our vocation isn’t always a job, and our job isn’t always our vocation.

What about you? In your life, what feels like a vocation rather than an occupation? Where and how are you sensing your own calling?
