After only three months studying and worshipping with students, faculty and staff at Columbia Theological Seminary, what I am discerning about vocational possibilities for myself is the role of teacher. I’ve enjoyed returning to an academic environment, this one infused with a spirit that is holy. The calling I sense is to live more wholly in the moment, more completely in communion with the “Great I Am” as revealed in a community of believers in this place and in other times and places.
Although I have taught Sunday school from time to time since I was a teenager, I still feel my preparation is insufficient. Seeking to understand the wisdom of scripture and thoughts of believers even after a faith journey spanning decades is still exciting. So I hope to become a better student so that I may become a better teacher.
Discernment for God's calling to us continues even into retirement years.
