"The calling is not authoritative the way the Scriptures are. Your calling is never beyond question. You can’t claim it to others the way you quote scripture to them.
Nevertheless our calling can be profoundly and durably sure in our own heart. It is the work of God to bring our heart to a point of conviction that, all things considered—including Scripture—this path is the path of obedience. The conviction is not infallible. But when it is of God, it brings peace."

As we seek God's purposes for our lives...
The above portion in quotations is from a Piper "Taste and See" article. It was encouraging to my heart and if you want to check out the whole article (click below) which includes ten ways the Lord awakens a calling in the believer's life.
Praying for you all as you seek God's highest and best...and joining you in the pursuit!

That's great!! I liked it sooooo much in fact that I even went to the site and copied it to my own blog and page!! Thanks for bringing that to our attention Annie!!!
We're praying for you all!!
Love, Mel
The fullness of Your grace is here with me
The richness of Your beauty’s all I see
The brightness of Your glory has arrived
In Your presence God, I’m completely satisfied
For You I sing I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love
A deep deep flood, an Ocean flows from You
Of deep deep love, yeah it’s filling up the room
Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God I’m completely satisfied
For You I sing and dance
I rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love

My word (using a southern drawl which the Fork could more accurately feign)...I love the fact that the only infallible advice will come from God driven interpretation of HIS WORD! Without fail, the Bible is where we should turn for wisdom and direction! Thanks Annie for sharing that!
For His renown,
BenZ
