From The Dust Arise

Shake yourself from the dust and arise; be seated, O Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Isaiah 52:2

Passion and Purpose

Why am I an all or nothing kind of girl? I love passion and so wish that I could obtain it for something for more than a nanosecond. I do have passion and drive for things but it always tends to fade with time. Like with this blog for example. I truly loved it for a good few months. It was a great outlet of creativity and inspiration a wonderful place for me to reflect on the amazing wonders that God brought my way. It still could be if I found a little bit of drive and passion.


A few things I wish I had consistent passion for. Photography, crafting, cooking, art, travel, world missions, reading, working out, the poor and the broken, my friends, and my family. Those are just a few. The only things in my life that passion never seems to die for is TV, movies, and food; and that makes for a deadly combination and a very uninteresting hermit lifestyle.

I pray daily that God would magically open doors and provide me with an unbelievably amazing job that encompasses all of my talent and passion and still provide for me financially. The only problem with this scenario is that I am not sure where my passion lies and what exactly my talents are.

I know that God has a plan for me and I will continue to grow and change and I am so grateful for it. I just wish that I knew what it was that I was created specifically to do. I know that on a whole humanity was created to worship and be loved by our creator but individually we were given special strengths within the body. I would like to know if I am the foot, meant to go and tell the world of this great love. Or maybe I am a hand meant to help others up when they are down. Or am I the eyes made to watch and be on the lookout for those in need. There are so many different gifts, as many as there are people on this earth; I am just having a little bit of difficulty locating mine. So if your gift is finding other’s strengths, I could use a little help right about now.
