Why me?

In this whole process of formation I often wonder why me, especially when I see so many others that seem so perfect for the job. They know more about the church. They go to daily mass, adoration, pray the rosary more than I do. The choices seem so obvious.

I was talking to someone yesterday that posed the question, Why didn't Jesus ask John the Baptist to be one of his apostles? Good question, he seems like a shoe in. but instead he asked simple fishermen. 

So, I come back to my situation, why me? I certainly am not worthy or high on the list of prospects, to use baseball terminology. The only thing I can think of that I did different than anyone else, is that I said, "Yes". I said, "yes" and God did the rest. 

I believe that God calls us all to something, to a new life. The only necessary on our part is to say, "Yes". I would challenge everyone to take some time this Lent to listen to what God might be asking of you.
