I did have an idea that this was something All Saints Day . that just might be in the cards for me, but I had no idea how it would turn out in the end.

There were some winding roads and unexpected turns along the way, but I can definitely see now that God was calling me to be a priest all along. I never heard a voice (audibly) or saw a vision, but I always felt God's hand gently and purposefully guiding me in figuring out my vocation. What about you: Are you being called to be a teacher?
