We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
It took me fifty years to realize that God is calling me. In fact, it took me that long to realize that God had been calling me throughout my entire life. I simply did not hear the call because I was not paying attention.
I was too busy. I was too absorbed in myself and the world around me. I complicated life way too much.
