Best comment of discussion: Tim Keller on the Lutheren vs. Calvin ideas of calling. For Calvin its find what you're good and use it to fulfill a need. For Luther it's see a need and go fulfill the need. Probably the truth is somewhere in the middle.

We are weak too! Integrity and honesty and humility when you're crap at your job is important. (first year secondary teacher- very crap at job).

[watersport]

Start with the need and get to the ability or start with ability and get to the need. Those approaches are complimentary.

FAQ: Should I publicly proclaim my Faith if I'm NOT good at what I do?
I'm a rookie graduate clerk, and I'm NOT good at my job yet: I'm not competitive, I make mistakes, I try people's patience. I worry that I cannot glorify God yet, and this has discouraged me from sharing my Faith at work. Am I right?
