This article talking about a "calling" from God rings true to me.
Once I married and starting having children I decided that my "calling" necessarily needed to contain these elements of family building. What else was there to do? God would never ask me to divorce and abandon my children for a "higher calling" would he? And yet, the idea of God relocating us at a moment's notice did bother me from time to time early on. (That's what comes from being a part of fundamental/evangelical religious groups.)
I don't believe in a god with a calling, just to be clear. The idea that my so-called "calling" coincided with my personal choices makes sense now. It was my choice all along.
