Specific or General?

As I was riding my bike in the neighbourhood today, I was thinking...thinking about the specificity of our Callings. At first I considered, "Are our Callings like the husband/wife thing - we have only one for our life's duration?". Then I thought, "Surely not...perhaps it is more about location - calling and purpose are connected to where we are at a certain time, both physically and metaphysically". And yet, I wonder...

I have many interests, many passions, it is hard to consider one greater than another.

I have a friend who emphatically told me that she believed my calling was a very specific one. I think (though I really don't know, I should ask her) that she was implying I am made in such a way that my giftings are very specific and I am strongly directed in one or a few particular ways (does that make sense...?). Does that mean I am not well-rounded? Should I be glad for that?

Well, here I am, here and now, wondering what is next for me, what do I dedicate my life to the next while? A choice has to be made, and it has to be made sooner than later. It is good to remind myself "there is no fear in love".
