quote of the day

so i was just talking to one of the law clerks in my office about law, our passions/interests as those relate to the law, etc....and she shared with me an AMAZING quote that i wanted to pass along. It is along the lines of what God has been revealing to me a lot lately, and I just think it is awesome how God confirms through others what He has been speaking to us individually.

(the last sentence was the quote the lady shared with me, but i think the whole paragraph is worth posting!)

"There are different kinds of voices calling you to different kinds of work, and the problem is to find out which is the voice of God rather than of Society say, or the Superego, or Self-Interest. By and large a good rule for finding out is this. The kind of work God usually calls you to do is work (a) that you need most to do and (b) that the world needs most to have done. The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet." -Frederick Buechner
