This post is part of a series of posts covering the topic of personal
Calling & Vocation. You can find more about the entire series in the
archive on the Vocation & Calling
page.
A person's Vocation or Calling is a deep part of our human spirit. It
is the thing we constantly search for in our lives. Few find the balance
of life and vocation that brings satisfaction. In the first post about
Vocation & Calling, I am going to be digging into the meaning of Vocation
and Calling and how it relates to my life.
I want to mention, first of all, that my thoughts would be no where without
the insight of Gordon Smith's book Courage
& Calling. These posts were inspired by his book and I owe a
tremendous amount of credit to him. My goal is to provide commentary on
his book and not to repeat it. I will attempt to summarize the portion of
the book I will be commenting on, then provide my thoughts.
