The definition of PASSION

"There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will capture your heart. Pursue those"

What are you passionate about?

What captures your heart? 

What do you want to be known for at the end of your life?

What happens in your life daily that you are proud of when you lay your head on your pillow at night?

"Be sure to do what you should,  for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well." Galatians 6:4

Each of us has a personal touch.  Remember when you moved away from home and came back for a visit. You take a big sniff in the air and smell.......home!  We should be like that to the world.  There is something about each of us that is unique.  I was created to offer an aroma to those around me that no one else can. 

I am passionate about touching people and making a difference in their lives.  I want my children to go to bed at night feeling loved. I want those around me to know that I KNOW they are not perfect but I love them anyway!  I am passionate about that, probably because I have personally experienced the rejection of others who expect you to be perfect and turn their back on you when they find out you are not.

Guess what?  I don't want to be perfect in your eyes!  I do NOT want to be on your pedastal. I would much rather be right there beside you, holding your hand and sharing a chuckle with you when I make a mistake!  Only then can you be honest with yourself and me about who you really are! I am so passionate about that!

Women that are hurting and feel inadequate and unworthy capture my heart!!!

What is your passion?

Love it when a blog really makes us stop and think....

Passion: to see hurting women come to the Lord. For once I was a hurting woman without hope (so I thought) until I met the Master.

Thank you for a wonderful post.

Be careful who you tell your dreams to!

I went with my son recently to see a production of Joseph and the Amazing Coat at a local community college. As I sat in the dark theater and watched the young men in the production, one of the lessons in the first part of the story hit me fresh and clear. Joseph told his dream to the wrong people at the wrong time. In his naivity, he thought his brothers would rejoice with him when he shared his dreams with them. Instead, it caused their jealous to turn to hatred of him and the favor of the father on his life. Many times in my own life, I have been too quick to share what God is showing me about the future with others. The truth is not everyone is called to share your dreams. There are circumstances and life issues people deal with that get in the way of their ability to 'rejoice with those who rejoice'. Just because you are there for other people does not mean they are capable of being there for you. Wisdom teaches us to wait and be careful about our conversation and 'the

Urgent Prayer Request!

Sunday Afternoon Update: Just got back from my sister's house. I went with her to the doctors Friday and they are aggressively treating her donor host disease with the belief it will allow her lungs and other organs to heal. I got a chance to minister to her and some direction from God in how best to do that now. Thank you all for your prayers! I am asking everyone who reads this blog to pray for my sister, Rachel Batson . She is 39 years old and has a aplastic anemia. This is a blood disorder in which the body does not reproduce blood as it should. Rachel had a bone marrow transplant last year but has since developed graft versus host disease. The disease is in the organs of her body. This is causing the organs to shut down. She especially needs prayer for her lungs. The doctors at Vanderbilt Hospital are saying she only has 2-3 months to live with her lungs as they are. Please pray for: a healing in her body total commitment to Jesus Christ her husband-Billy her son-Trevor peace

God's time is the right time!

This morning I got up ready for my new healthy lifestyle! I drank a big glass of water and took my vitamin, exercised, walked the dog and made a healthy breakfast. As I sat down to eat, a wave of nausea came over me and I began to shake and sweat. After I threw my healthy breakfast in the trash, I realized what had happened: I had taken my vitamin on an empty stomach. No, it didn't make me feel better this morning, but hopefully I won't make that mistake again. Now for the spiritual application.... There is an order for what God has for our lives just as there is an order for taking things like vitamins. This morning, I got ahead of myself. I was so excited about my goal to get healthy that I didn't take the time to remember the basics I already knew. God has perfect timing. I look forward in faith to what He has promised me. I believe with everything in me that this is the year I will begin to see His promises and plans for me fulfilled. He is lining everything up
