Imprints Year One
Some years ago, I was given a wonderful little book that had a profound impact on my life. I knew that God was calling me, but I didn’t know exactly where or how God wanted to use me. The book was Let Your Life Speak by Parker Palmer. Below is a short excerpt:
“Vocation does not mean a goal that I pursue. It means a calling that I hear. Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am. I must listen for the truths and values at the heart of my own identity, not the standards by which I must live - but the standards by which I cannot help but live.”
This month, we will be looking at some different “call stories” in scripture, seeking to hear God’s call for us echoed in God’s call to some of the heroes of our faith (the Disciples of Jesus, Moses, Gideon, Saul/Paul).
