What I’m thinking is..

“You can overcome any obstacle if you know you’re CALLED to reach the end result. If you are merely doing a good deed, or are only doing something because you like it, you will become easily discouraged. But to be called means that you have drive and purpose.”

That was a summary of a teaching on excellence by one of out teachers in DTS, Benny Prasad. It’s not an exact quote, but it’s the gist of one of the things I gleaned from him.  At the time I had no idea what I was called to do, and so I thought to myself, “Oh, wouldn’t it be nice to know my calling.” I didn’t like the idea of going through seasons of my life not knowing if I was supposed to be there or not.



The art world is so full of darkness. There is light and beauty there too, of course, but I think everyone would agree that it is predominantly worldly. Why do people do art? To show off? To avoid doing “real” work? To vent their weird, pent-up emotions? To make a mere pretty picture in an ugly, ugly world? To make money? (haha) Why would I do art…? What’s the point of being an artist? Am I doing it for myself or for God? All these questions are tumbling through my mind. My goal is to become excellent at what I love, and to use what I love to make the world a better place by communicating the Love of God. That’s my calling. Is my calling enough to get me through university without backsliding?
