I am traveling the world living out ALL my passions. YES ALL MY PASSIONS!!! Pin pointing what my passion (s) were has always been something I struggled with, I thought I could only have one but i could never figured it out because I love everything but here i am sitting in a car in India, just left an orphanage and prayed for an family who are the ONLY Christians in their village and it hit me, I have a passion for it ALL!!
I have a passion for children, old people fill me with joy, I have a passion for the forgotten, the quiet, the stubborn, the people who never smile (not on my watch), the broken, homeless, underprivileged, the ignored, I have a passion for preaching (still scares me but I push into it), I have a passion to encourage the weary, I have a passion for people y’all.
I love people, I love helping them discover who they are, who’s they are and what their purpose, calling and passions are. I think community is an amazing thing when done Biblically and with love.
I have a passion for selfies (in trying to figure out how to make this a ministry, but seriously). Me being called the selfie queen has been such a compliment and God has been using it to open doors. Me pushing myself out of my comfort zone and literally asking people I have only known for 2 seconds for a selfie and a silly face had resulted in smiles, testimonies, laughter, and friendships that are always hard to say bye to at the end of each visit or month.
If you were to ask this girl here, me, what my passion was, I would draw a blank and start rambling on and probably cope out and say counseling. Yes I love counseling and the mental health field but what I am doing now ( which also incorporates most if not all I’ve learned in the mental health field ) has lit a fire in me that I never knew or notice about myself. (my friends back home would probably say duhh) but no one ever told me until now.
World Race community living has probably , no, has been my number one struggle, living with the same people 24/7 for days, months and finding quiet is a thing of the past, however, world race community living has brought out and encouraged so many gifts in me (that I thought were normal) and pushed and challenged me in them and I will be forever grateful for this. The intentionality of community has helped make me the passionate person that I am right now and pray to continue to be.
Here’s to falling in love with passion all over again!!!!
