Do you remember what life was like before God called you?  I know many of us went through experiences, which were different for each one of us.  Maybe you went through various struggles, including emotional, relational, or spiritual challenges.  Many of your decisions may have been influenced by societal expectations, cultural norms, or the opinions of others, rather than a personal sense of calling or purpose.  The calling we receive often brings a profound shift in perspective, leading to a life oriented towards a higher purpose, the family of God.
