Thirty-one years ago, on July 25th, 1993, I knelt on the hard brick steps in the sanctuary at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Bexley, Ohio as the bishop of the Southern Ohio Synod pronounced me a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
I've thought much about calling. How short my time here is, and what have I been called to do? Like you, my "calling" has changed more than once. I even contemplated attending the seminary in my 40s (but I recognized this originated from a sort of aimless wandering than a true calling). Reading this post reminds me that we are free to change directions, no matter our age. Inspiring!

Thank you, Nancy. Sending love and hugs your way.

Thank you, Heidi! And I love that - free to change directions, no matter our age.
Beautiful, Rebecca!
Thank you so much, Katy! Hope you are well!
