Big things are happening in this text. God is revealing himself to Moses through the burning bush that doesn't burn up and is calling him to lead his people out of slavery and out of Egypt. Moses' response: "who am I?" We see movies like the 10 Commandments with portrayals of Moses done by people like Charlton Heston and we see a strong confident leader with a voice made to narrate the Bible itself. But Moses was a man who had a confidence issue and a speech impediment. He wasn't a speaker, and he wasn't looking to be the front-man of any sort of movement. He probably wanted to live out his life quietly in hiding because of the crime he committed when he murdered the abusive Egyptian. But whether Moses wanted it or not is immaterial because God wanted him. And when you are called by God, well... you go.
God calls each of us to work that is beyond what we think possible for us. Like Moses, we think, "who am I to make a difference?" You are uniquely created by God to love God and love others in a way that only you can. You have a key to making the world a little more heaven-like. This is what is referred to as "your calling". Listen for the voice of God around you, in you, as well as through others, and be attentive to what God might be saying to you. And you say, "who me?" Yes, of all people... you.
