Calling Drought

This school year I have been focused on my calling.  I've been trying to discern whether or not I am being called into another place or profession.  Why am I feeling this way?  Well it has to do with my own dissatisfaction.  God has been working diligently on my heart with this.  I am now recognizing the amazing work God is doing in, around, and through me in this time of "calling drought".  I have no clue what is next, so I am forced to be very aware of all that is going on around me.  I reflect on conversations, pay attention to people who are brought across my path, read scripture, have mentor dialogues, and see situations with a spiritual eye in order to discern the movements of God.  Throughout, He has been faithful to show me where He is at work in my current calling, which is encouraging.  I do not know what the next chapter brings, if anything new, but I know that where I am now is exactly where He has planned for me to be.  A "calling drought" is a tricky place to be, but faithfulness leads to living water from the Spirit that quenches the thirsty soul in the midst of wandering the desert. I am thankful for this truth.
