Church Callings - What I'm meant to do

When you receive a church calling that is some what out of the blue, sometimes you question.. "Really?..... Me?..... Are you sure?"

Think of church callings as the way the WORLD thinks of life callings! 

When you speak to someone not of our faith, and they say, "It's my calling." 

What do they mean?

They mean, it is something they were MEANT TO DO! A divine assurance is deeply settled into their hearts and mind that this is truly where they belong RIGHT NOW, and their life has a new sense of great meaning.

Church callings are inspired. They fill the need in whatever capacity to which you are called, and you gain understanding that you are meant to have that calling in this particular time in your life.

It is where your Heavenly Father will guide and direct you. He will teach you through your calling as you seek His help and guidance. He will also bless others THROUGH you. You may be in that calling to specifically help those around you more than help yourself. Look at your calling through the eyes of the Lord. Who needs your spirit? Who needs your help? Who needs YOU?
