Called?
Sometimes when we are considering a call we wonder if we are just avoiding something we don't like. Are we trying to escape from something frightening or unpleasant, or are we really moving toward a positive choice? God works in all of the ordinary events and movements of our hearts. There may be some element of moving away from when we move toward religious life. For example, we may want to move away from consumerism or individualism and see religious life as a necessary support for that in our life. The question is are we ONLY running away from something. Life's motivations are always mixed. That is part of being human and God accepts our humanity.
