living your calling

I had a great experience this weekend, watching my wife live into her calling. In the midst of a tough couple of months in ministry, God gave her an opportunity to share grace with a group of folks in a weekend retreat. (If you're not familiar with the Walk to Emmaus, ask me. It's an amazing weekend of soaking in God's grace, and I'm pretty sure there's one in your area.)

The highlight for me this weekend was watching my wife use her spiritual giftedness, rely on God's Spirit to do the spiritual work, be completely herself, and sense God's pleasure. (Shameless plug for one of my favorite movies of all times - "Chariots of Fire." Watch the clip at the bottom of this page, especially from 2:21-2:56 or so.) The Kingdom of God is the only pursuit in life that when you live it out, it's good for you and good for everyone around you.

Have you ever experienced God's goodness like this? When you knew you were doing exactly what God shaped you to do? Find your sweet spot, and chase hard after God.
