Truly, a vocation comes from God. If we are called to priesthood, that is our vocation. If we choose another way, perhaps that is our vocation.
Sometimes, though, we follow God's call despite feeling (partially at least) called to something else. This means that we do truly need discernment - a process of deciding between two goods. We need to ask God what He wants of our lives and strive to respond. In the mean time, until we make a committed response, our desire should be to follow God and to serve Him with our lives
God will use us if we let Him. We must simply allow Him to use us!
