Vocation does not come from a voice 'out there' calling me to become something I am not. It comes from a voice 'in here' calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given to me at birth by God.

Today I understand vocation quite differently--not as a goal to be achieved but as a gift to be received.

Pedicures make everything better (or something like that)

After my meeting, I decided that I had had enough of my mind doing stupid things like freaking out about what people say, and that a pedicure would help. 

I brought along a book sent to me this week by the bestie, called Let Your Life Speak. I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing/needed it was. It’s about vocation, and what happens when we follow the “oughts” instead of our vocations and natural gifts…and was about as refreshing as a bucket of ice water to the face.

That vocation thing > what my old chairman thinks about the awesomeness and applicability of surgery to everyone, even if part of me still doubts.
