<p>Epiphany season is about calling.&nbsp; It's about learning what God has in-store for us.&nbsp; It is about exploring ourselves and trying to figure out God's plan for ourselves.&nbsp; God created each and every one of us uniquely special, with specific gifts that we are supposed to use to the glory of God.&nbsp; When was the last time you asked yourself what you should be doing with your talents?&nbsp; The first four disciples that Jesus called never expected the call.&nbsp; They did not even think twice about leaving their lives to follow Jesus.&nbsp; Shouldn't we at least give God a chance?</p>
