God's call on our lives seems harder to figure out than it actually is. God calls us to follow Jesus, to walk humbly, to have mercy, to love people, to be conformed to the image of His Son. Along the way, we will get married or not, move to this place or that, have this job or that, spend our time on hobbies, service, learning, relationships and work. We often focus on the part of God's call that is very specific to our temporal, immediate reality (the what, the when, the how) - when who it is that He calls us to be is eternal and will transcend all of these other things that so occupy us.
I'm not suggesting that these other things are not important, that we should sell everything and become a monk or a nun (necessarily), but that in focusing on what is difficult to discern, we exclude what God calls us to that is plain - and that puts all of the other pieces of our lives in His proper perspective.
