In a few weeks we are getting together for a retreat that will go by the general name of "Vocare". We hope to listen and explore God's call on our lives. The more I reflect on this, the more I am beginning to think that it is not so much an issue of hearing and discerning God's call, but the courage to act on it.

Musa's version will be used for the blog series. It's good, readable, and has helpful notes for those who are new to Dante. (*****)

I totally agree with you from my own journey I would also add obedience and a hand grasping that mustard seed of faith. I know the background noise in our lives, that it can make the call like a bad telephone connection. I can convince myself " no " I don't think thats what I heard, your going to have to speak up Lord.Blessings on your retreat...and above all just enjoy " presence "...with one another...and with Him.

Ron - yes I would agree. Now that you mention those apsects, it is a bit of a "package deal", I find I need faith to move forward in obedience, and courage to "get out the boat" when asked to do so. All of which I find supplied by Him, and never by me... And thanks for your thoughts on our upcoming retreat.
