We're all called

What feeds your soul? What is your calling? What lights you up more than anything? If you had unlimited resources, what would you be doing with your life? Over the last few months, everywhere I turn, these  questions keep popping up. Now, it's quite the coincidence since I've been praying to God to help me find my calling. Or is it? Have I been failing to see & hear all these TV shows, radio programs, blog posts, & news articles? Is this the hot topic of the month? OR is God speaking to me through these outlets? Obviously, as we've all heard many times, God is not going to pick up the phone & call me. I'm not going to answer the phone to Him saying, Hello Karla, this is God, you were created to......No, that won't happen, but I will eventually find my calling.....

Did anyone see Oprah's farewell show? I haven't seen her show in years & that's not because I dislike Oprah. I actually love her show. I think she is so inspirational. She has taken her show, her power, her wealth, her knowledge & used it to help countless others. It just so happens that I caught her finale. What an amazing ending to this chapter in her life!! If you missed it, you can view a few of the clips & a typed version on her website. I have to say it is a must read. Her words were beautiful & moving. Oprah gets it. She has listened to God & used her calling to serve....Her show will be missed & I can't wait to see where she goes from here.

Quotes that spoke to me during her show:

"You are responsible for your life. You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others."

"All life is energy and we are transmitting it at every moment. We are all beaming little signals like radio frequencies, and the world is responding in kind."

"Everybody has a calling, and your real job in life is to figure out what that is and get about the business of doing it. You have to know what sparks the light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world."

"I learned from the guests on this show, no need to feel superior to anybody. Because, whether it's heroin addiction or gambling addiction or shopping addiction or food addiction, work addiction, the root is all the same---unworthiness---not feeling worthy enough to own the life you were created for---this show has taught me you're worthy because you are born and because you are here. Your being here, your being alive, makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough."

"I've talked to nearly 30,000 people---all had one thing in common: They all wanted validation---They want to know Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?---Try it with your children, your husband, your wife, your boss, your friends. Validate them. I see you. I hear you. And what you say matters to me."

"I know I've never been alone, and you haven't either. And I know that that presence, that flow--some people call it grace--is working in my life at every single turn. And yours too, if you let it in. It's closer than your breath, and it is yours for the asking."

"Connect. Embrace. Liberate. Love somebody. Just one person. And then spread that to two. And as many as you can. You'll see the difference it makes."

"I understand the manifestation of grace and God, so I know there are no coincidences. There are none. Only divine order here."

Today's song is one that I have just recently found. I have fallen in love with the words & I feel it fits perfectly for today's topic....your calling....
