If one feels called into something maybe huge at one point in time, but then suddenly doubts....does that mean they're not called, or is Satan trying to talk them out of something that could greatly bless others and grow you spiritually, or are they just not ready yet?
 
God's plan for you doesn't change. Even if you happen to muck it up somehow, He would still want you to do it. And He'd even help you fix it. He probably won't reveal the plan to you all at once, too.
I know my calling, but the steps between here and there are pretty numerous...
If you could accomplish this calling by yourself, go ahead and doubt - it probably isn't a calling that God wants you to do.
However, if there is no possible way you could do it of yourself, then pray for God to take that doubt away and show you His plan for you.

Though, I may be making the word 'calling' and the phrase 'God's plan for you' the same thing...

I hope this helps you, even if just a little :)

Thanks it did :) There is no way I could do this calling on my own, and the gifts I have come only from Him. I take no credit.

Btw, I don't think you are really mixing up the word 'calling' and the phrase 'God's plan for you' because if God's calling you to something, like a certain career, then that's His plan for you to go into that career, right?

It felt like I was posting what I was on a whim, so I didn't really give much thought to it.
I suppose you're right.
