Who am I called to be?

This question has been on my mind the past few days, and tonight at mass this was discussed in the homily.

SO-who am I called to be?

I am called to be myself.  I am called to be a Godly person. I am called to be the best Christian that I can be. I am called to be the best trumpet player that I can be. I am called to be the best sister, the best daughter, the best granddaughter, and the best cousin that I can be. I am called to be the best friend that I can be.

I am not called to be the best trumpet player in the world...I am called to be the best trumpet player that I can be. Even on the days when I feel like I'm the worst trumpet player ever, I remind myself that there will always be someone worse than me and someone way better than me somewhere in the world. The only thing that matters is that each time I pick up the trumpet, I am working to be the best musician that I can be.

I am not called to be the next saint...I am called to be the best Christian that I can be..to share the love of God with others...to help those in need...to give back to the community...to live out God's plan for me. While there are many days that I question why I am in a certain situation, I have to remind myself that it is part of God's plan, whether I like it or not. If it is a part of His plan for me, He will help me through the rough waters.  I am here on Earth because He has a plan for me.

I want to remind each and every one of you to strive to be be the best that you can be. Live your life for Him, and He will help you reach your dreams.
