What's My Passion?


What's my passion? I've been pondering this question since yesterday.  I have always loved writing, it helps to get my thoughts in order.  I can remember sitting on the rock wall in our front yard jotting down lyrics to a song or poem.  It was during my early teens where I believe God had given me the gift to create beautiful pictures with words.  I look back at some of the songs and poems that I've written and I see how the Lord has brought me out of the valleys.  It reminds me that even in my most loneliest, darkest times, God was still with me.  The bible says that He, God, will never leave us nor forsake us.  I believe with my whole heart that He never will.  I also believe with my whole heart that I can hide under the shadow of the Almighty and find rest in Him.

Writing is my passion, but somewhere somehow I lost sight of it.  I began to doubt that this was my calling, my way of 'speaking' to the world to encourage them with God's word.  For weeks I couldn't understand why the one thing that has always come so easily to me, was suddenly the most difficult thing to achieve.  I would stare at a blank page and nothing would come to mind.  Something wasn't right and I couldn't put my finger on it until I received an email from a friend. God had used her to reveal to me that I was the 'something' that had changed! I had lost the joy and love of writing.  My passion was gone and the desire to create was slowly drifting away.  I knew what I needed to do.  I put on some worship music, got on my knees and cried out to God for a renewing in my spirit.  I stayed there until I felt His peace come over me.

As I sat on my desk chair with my face in my hands, I was reminded of the scripture:


When we are still and quiet its where we hear God the loudest.  I am grateful to this friend for being honest with me.  I am also grateful that God has restored my passion!! I may not be the best writer, but I know that God will give me the words that someone needs to hear!

So ask yourself, 'what's my passion?'


Have a blessed day!

There's a Snake in Your Garden

Image
I once heard a story about a couple who were having a quiet evening when their dogs suddenly began barking. They got louder, so the husband went outside to check on things. In a panic, he called to his wife and told her there was a snake in the corner of the entryway. While she kept an eye on the 4-foot snake, he went and got a shovel and a knife. After taking care of the snake, reality hit. In order for her husband to get out the front door, he passed right by the snake that could’ve struck out and bit him, or worse. God protected them both from harm. We must be careful to keep watch of our surroundings, especially our homes. The enemy will use any way possible to slither in and lay in wait to strike out and destroy. Just like he did when he made his move on Eve in the garden. He convinced her that it was okay to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge and that nothing bad would happen. And so, she ate the fruit, then gave it to Adam to eat. But what happened after they ate...

Get on the Train or Watch it Go By!

 Hello friend! I wanted to share something with you that God spoke to me a few months ago. We've been praying for revival and I have this sense that it's coming soon! Here's what God spoke to me: Revival is coming like in the days of Noah. It is coming in a whirlwind of fire and we need to be ready. We need to make the decision whether or not we are going to get on the train, or watch it go by. Revival will come in God's timing, not ours. The church has been coddled for far too long. There are those who will close their ears to what is being said because they haven’t fully committed their lives to Christ. They like to hear what I call the ‘fluff a nutters.’ They want to hear a feel good message instead of a message that’s going to challenge us to be doers and not just hearers of the word. A message that will make us run, not walk, to the altars and ask God to forgive us for our sins. A message that will ignite the fire within us to want to go out and preach the gospel l...

What's Been Going On...

 Hello everyone!  It's been a while and exciting things are happening! 😁  I have FINALLY taken that scary step and quit my job to concentrate on becoming an indie author. I did pray and seek God for His guidance and He opened that door wide! I'm currently putting together my first ever poetry collection AND my first novella, To Smile Again. I am waiting on the cover design and working on edits.  I'm SO excited you have no idea! 😆 I'm praying they will be ready for publication by August/September 2021.  Something else that I have added to my writing adventure is...YouTube!!! Yep, I started  vlogs documenting my writing progress. It's been so much fun, but I say 'um' a lot. 😂 Well that's about all I've got going on. I hope you're doing well and don't forget. When you feel like giving up...KEEP PUSHING ON!!!!  Blessings 💮
