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.

Loving You

Today is my awesome Husband's 49th birthday!! We have been together forever! He has been with me through my very worst and is truly God's greatest gift to my life.  He LOVES when I write him poetry. Below is his birthday poem! Before I knew what love was,                                       You saw me. Before we ever held hands,                                       You knew me. My soul- Your soul  forming together So near, completely unaware…. Unaware that God had a master plan.           In shaping me, He thought of you…. He gave me eye...

The courage to jump

I remember taking swimming lessons as a small child. To graduate from the class we had to jump off the diving board. I stood on the edge every day. I knew I could swim. I had made friends with my lifeguards and knew they would not let me drown..... but I could not take that step. At night I would think about my lesson time the next day. I would imagine myself jumping off the board and swimming to the side. The next day I would be frozen... on the edge. On the final day of class, one of the lifeguards offered to jump with me. She came behind me and wrapped her arms around me and we jumped together. She gained nothing for her efforts but a chipped tooth (true story!) but I had gained the courage to jump into the water. Even though I am now in my thirties, I MAKE myself jump off the diving board at least once every time I go swimming. Not because I am a great athlete or in great shape, but because I don't want to lose my nerve. I know how easily you can get frozen on the edge of th...

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...
