Dear Joheri,
Thank you for you sharing such a wonderful experience! I agree with some of the other comments that what you probably experienced was a change of heart or baptism by fire... It is something very significant that can be compared to a seed the Lord gave you to plant and nourish it so that it will grow into the fruit of Eternal Life.
I feel that Calling & Election is something very personnel between an individual and the Lord. Many will offer suggestions of what it should and should not be. Ultimately it will be something you will need to seek from the Lord. I feel when the promise is given, there will be no room for doubt that you have heard His voice speaking to you. Though you may not at that moment fully comprehend what has been given to you, you will not be able to deny having heard Him.
Yet even at that moment of C&E, there will be more blessings to seek and to strive for.. greatest one of all will be to receive the Second Comforter. Perhaps you have read, Denver Snuffer's book, Second Comforter or his one on Beloved Enos? These all use scripture accounts to show us the way or pattern to receive our C&E and receive Christ as Second Comforter.
All is not done until then. I believe it is important for us to remember that even our Savior, the greatest one of all, did not call himself "perfect" meaning "complete" until AFTER His Resurrection. He is our example to follow.
