I had always thought the 12 disciplines were chosen as special apostles from the very beginning. Here it seems that they were just some of his many followers. It shows that you never know what Jesus has in mind for you. Will we go when we are called?
Yes we never know what great plan we are being part of. Although we are nothing compared to God, we should not fall into the wrong thinking that we are completely worthless. We may be weak but we are worth a great value to God and that he uses us in his plan.
I think we are constantly called upon. The problem is our sinful nature and wanting to stay in our comfort zone and not move forward to God's callings.
