I was simply wondering if there were important signs to look out for or some hints or advice as to what my calling may be in life for God.
I’m stuck between the priesthood and another vision, but I seem to have the other one pulling more closely, but I can’t tell if it’s more of a desire or what.

I’ve been praying a lot about it lately and in front of the Blessed Sacrament, but I want to be able to make the right choice.

Anything to look out for as I go along in life looking for the right direction?
 
No matter what vocation you choose, you should be determined to accept it as God’s will and seek it always. You must trust God to lead you into your vocation by His providence. His Spirit will lead you by living events, He chooses you,you don’t choose Him. for the priesthood I sought His will by going into the priesthood, and by circumstances wound up as a married man, but my motive was always the same. “Lord what will you have me do” The end of every vocation is your final union with God if you accept with sincerity and fidelity and commitment to all of its responsibility and live them as a Christian. Where will you serve God best in your own appraisal of your self? Pray for guidance. If you trust God to lead you, no matter what choice you make it will turn out right. I was hurt that He didn’t accept me for the priesthood, and I felt deep rejection. But He revealed to me by living circumstances that He had other plans for me, and let me know that I had a vocation to the priesthood as a Lay Apostle given me by Baptism, so Trust no matter how it hurts, God doesn’t abandone us no matter how we suffer Want to hear something funny. When I finally dated, I chose girls that I thought were the cream of the crop. there were three of them, and each of them became religious and I said, Lord why? But I kept trying and finally got a wife that could put up with me 🙂

Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance & direction in life.
 
I have wanted so badly to get married my entire life.

I’m finally reaching a point where I’m going to start praying for my vocation, no matter what it is.

I hope more than anything that it’s marriage. I’m going to be so extremely disappointed on so many different levels if it’s not marriage.

No matter what though, I’m committed to seeking to get married and will pray for marriage up until the very second of my death.

I ask for anyone and everyone that reads this that God would have mercy on me and give me the vocation of marriage and not damn me to further suffer the black, horrible damnation of singleness any longer.
