Thoughts on Our "Calling"

I found this article the other day - one of my facebook friends linked to it - and I thought it was really interesting. It is about how we spiritualize the things we do by saying we're "called" to them. It's a really interesting and thought provoking article, and I think I largely agree with what it is saying. Here is the sentence that has stuck with me and made me think:

God’s “will” may have nothing to do with whether or not one should move to Seattle instead of Chicago but it does have something to do with what kind of person one will be in either Seattle or Chicago in whatever job one chooses while living in whatever neighborhood one desires.


Am I "called" to live in Lexington? To be a civil engineer? To work at my current place of employment?  God has definitely showed up in each of these things. But I imagine that if I lived in a different city or had a different job, God would show up in those places too. God shows up because I have a relationship with Him, and because I choose to be obedient to Him and try to glorify Him. I would do that regardless of the job I was at or the city I lived in.
 
I think this takes a lot of the pressure off of us trying to figure out what God's will is for our lives. I think we instead need to be focused on the kind of people we are being, and worry about whether or not we are being Jesus' desciples where we are at right now. If we do that, we can rest easy knowing that we are indeed in God's will.
