5 Questions to Help You Find Your Calling

The following piece was written for the What's Your Calling blog tour.

When Jeneen Robinson sat before the AME Church's Board of Examiners in the PBS documentary miniseries, The Calling, she was asked a "vocational discernment question":

What is God trying to do with you, and through you, in ministry?"

Jeneen replied:

"I don't know what's ahead.  I just know that I have to preach.  I'm compelled to preach the Gospel.  I can't rest unless I'm preaching and teaching and pouring out to God's people.  It's like an itch.  I gotta preach."

Jeneen's answer sums up, for me, one of the ways you can find your calling: identify what you just have to do. You might do it is as part of your job, as a volunteer, or as a hobby.  It might be a private act, or a public one.  The form it takes may change over time, but what remains true is that you must do it.

For example, what thread runs through your answers to these questions?
  1. I just know that I have to __________________________.
  2. I'm compelled to _________________________________.
  3. I can't rest unless I'm ______________________________.
  4. _____________________________________ is like an itch.
  5. I gotta __________________________________________.
If you get stuck responding to the prompts, try writing out your answers quickly (no editing!).  If writing isn't your thing, have a friend ask you the questions, and tell her the answers.  Or, ask yourself the questions before you go to sleep, and write down your responses first thing in the morning.

Here are my answers:
  1. I just know that I have to help people find and express their calling.
  2. I'm compelled to share resources, advice and inspiring stories to help people find and express their calling.
  3. I can't rest unless I'm teaching and guiding people to find and express their calling.
  4. Sharing advice, resources and inspiring stories to help people find and express their calling is like an itch.
  5. I gotta help people find and express their calling.
I'd love it if you shared your answers to the five questions in the comments of this post, on my Facebook Page, on the What's Your Calling Facebook Page, and/or on Twitter (@bbravo and @whatsURcalling).

You can follow the blog tour on the What’s Your Calling? Facebook Page, and if you subscribe to the blog tour by email, you'll be entered for a chance to win a Calling Dream Kit: $200 Amazon gift credit to buy supplies to pursue your calling, an hour of coaching to help plan your project, a DVD and poster of The Calling, and the chance to share your calling with the community at whatsyourcalling.org.

  39. The James Webb Space Telescope just made an important finding while unravelling the mysteries of the cosmos. It confirmed the presence of water on a main-belt comet in our solar system that is situated halfway between Mars and Jupiter for the first time. The finding of cometary water by the Webb Telescope came after 15 years of diligent work utilising several observational methods. When Comet Read was in focus, the telescope found that it was surrounded by water vapour. This important discovery raises the potential that ice could survive even in the sun's hotter areas. As a result, this finding from the Webb Telescope's comet water discovery could support hypotheses about how our planet obtained its plentiful water reserves early in its history.

  40. There are concerns over a 200-meter asteroid's likely close approach to Earth, but NASA assures us there is no need for concern. The "NEO Earth Close Approaches" programme of NASA, which carefully tracks celestial bodies wandering close to our planet, detects the appearance of this cosmic traveller, designated "2023 CL3", on May 24. "2023 CL3" boasts dimensions that are more than twice as large as the renowned Statue of Liberty. However, it is anticipated to maintain a safe distance from Earth of less than 7.2 million km. This amount may seem large, yet in relation to distance, it is only a short distance away.

  41. The tech company published a Galaxy A22 5G security update in May 2023, demonstrating Samsung's dedication to the safety of its products. Despite the fact that it doesn't bring any new features or alter the device's appearance, this deployment, which intends to fix some 70 software problems in the Galaxy series, promises to boost consumer confidence and security. Open the Android "Settings" app and select "Software update" to see if your device is prepared for the May 2023 upgrade. Click "Download and update," adhere to the prompts on the screen, then wait for the procedure to finish. Always check for a strong Wi-Fi connection and a full battery before starting the update procedure.
