Sound familiar? I reminded clergy, leaders, chaplains, activists, and professors to listen to the voices that bless your calling:
"So, find the people who know you. See you. Listen and respond to you. The full, messy, brilliant, striving, grieving, loving, powerful, vulnerable you. Those people will be your team. Your sounding board. Your friends and peers. And they will be your
traveling companions on the journey to becoming more fully who you are called to be. The ones who don’t need to wait, but who love you now. The ones who have your back. And let you have theirs.
Even if you have
just one person in your life like this. Grab onto the hope they inspire. Trust that they are God’s gift and will strive with you to keep your calling afloat. They are the very faces of God’s blessing, partners in the calling, friends who will see you through."
