Are Your Passions Gathering Dust?

A passion is something you feel very strongly about and it’s something you may feel the need to share with others. This can be a business or something else you feel the need to share. For example, you can share your faith with others or you can share your love of music. No matter what it is, you don’t want to let that passion gather dust.

When you allow this to happen you won’t give yourself a chance to reach success and help others. When this happens you’re allowing your fears to get the best of you – NOT what you want to happen, and NOT the habits you want to create for you life.

LET’S BLOW THE DUST OFF!! Take two minutes, really quickly right here, right now, and answer this question – What passion has a pile of dust gathered all over it? Write it in this blank… ________________________________________________________________

It’s decision time! What do you think you need to do to stop your passions from gathering dust? The first thing to do is find your motivation… lose the dust! Your motivation may be God or your family; no matter what it is just find it and hang on to it and don’t let it slip away. Write it down and keep it in front of you at all times.

Once you have the motivation your passion begins to live again! Then create the steps necessary so you know what you need to do to reach success.

Then set goals for your passion. No matter what your passion is, goals are something you must set. .

Once you have your goals in place you need to take the time to decide what you need to do each day, week, and month to accomplish those goals. It’s imperative that you set your goals this way so you know what you’ll need to do at all times to attain success. When you have these in place it will be easier for you to accomplish what you set out to do and prevent the dust from collecting on your passion!!

When you attain success it’s important to CELEBRATE in some fashion to reward yourself. You have just accomplished something huge and you need to recognize that YOU MADE IT! When you do this you’ll be excited to continue on and that’s exactly what you need. If you don’t celebrate you’ll feel like you’re not doing any good and that can cause you to give up and allow your passions to gather dust again.

Your passion is your dream and it’s something you feel very strongly about in one way or the other. When you do nothing with that passion it begins to collect dust. That’s not what you need or want so it’s best to use these tips to find a way to BLOW THE DUST OFF OF YOUR AMAZING DREAMS and get back on the path of your passion! You can do it!

I'm a Grandma!

I became a grandmother in September of last year, and my grandson Brody has entered into the world… I am woman who is still young as far as the age of a typical grandma is and am not of the retirement age. That makes it hard to be available… My heart aches to be able to be around him more, and at the same time my heart leaps with joy as I watch in amazement the incredible parents my daughter Kellie Ann and her husband Chase are!

I truly do stand in awe at the beauty of it all. I am blessed and I know it. I am soon to become a grandparent again with our daughter Tabby and her husband Gerald, they have been on quite a journey, they have been ready to be parents for many years, and God has then on the path of adoption! They have just been approved by the adoption agency, by going through all of the classes, home inspections and all of the many things they must do before they can become parents!

SO… it’s just a matter of time before we meet our next beautiful member of the family! With this adoption, Gerald and Tabby have left the gender, the race(s) the placement decision all up to God and we are excited to see who God chooses for them! I can hardly wait!! So fun!! Join us in prayers for this new child, join us in prayers for the birthmother as well, we know she must be frightened and we also know she will be choosing the parents and none of this will be easy for her either.

I pray that God reaches down into her heart and grants her His love and His peace as she makes her decision. I pray that the rest of her life she will feel the closeness of God… I will keep you posted on this as we progress and meet our newest grandchild!

LISTEN - God hears the cries of our blood...

"The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground." Genesis 4:10

If this is your first time visiting my blog, let me share with you that many times I do my own studies as God directs me... He will drop a single word into my Spirit and I will then begin to do a study of the Scriptures revolving around that one word.

For this season of Lent, He has given me the word LISTEN. I will be posting some of my personal studies here. Many will remain in my personal journal, others I will post here...

Thank you for walking this Lenten journey with me, my prayers rising for you now...

In the passage above I find something beautiful in this Scripture, in my prior readings of it I only saw the heinous crime Cain committed against his brother Abel. I know that sounds strange to be able to find something beautiful in the midst of something so awful, but I have.

I searched in commentaries around this verse and strangely the beauty that I have discovered in this verse seems to be pretty much skipped over... Hard to believe that what is so profound here seems to go unnoticed, well maybe not, since I seem to have skipped over it many many times before myself. My view on this verse has been "pointed to the word LISTEN" this time, so this is what has actually caused me to see this after missing it so many times before.

Yes, we know that Cain has killed his brother, we know about how awful his temper and jealousy is. How we should never allow our rage to become so uncontrollable that we commit crimes against our fellow human beings. These are the things I've always gleaned from this in the past.

However, with this new perspective, what is being revealed to me is that when there are crimes committed our blood literally cries out to God! Our blood cries? Wow! Not only does our blood cry out to God, but God hears the cries!

I have never lost anyone to a crime; however my mother has been a victim to a heinous crime. She lived to tell about it and report it. Now, I cannot help but recognize the beauty, that when someone has been injured, harmed, or taken out of this life, our Lord HEARS the cries of the blood! Not only that, but He speaks to the criminal. He asks them what they have done and they too hear God speaking to them! They dialog with the God of the universe regarding what they have done. God of course already knows. God knows! God also provides consequences to their actions.

I know that our God is just and righteous in all of His decisions. Cain is removed from paradise, removed from the glorious place in which he was able to truly enjoy the land the beauty and all that God had provided. I can trust that He is handling everything. I can trust knowing that He knows all, sees all, and deals justly with all.

The voice of Abel came flooding into God's ears! AND, God did not ignore his cries. God hears the cries of blood, the cries of those who are no longer with us here physically, we can find a holy comfort in this. Just knowing that He hears the cries makes comforts me. Somehow, I know that the victim's families can find peace in His hearing also.

Let us take comfort and remember that our God listens and hears.

What is the cry of your heart today? What is it that you need Him to hear? Speak it to Him... let your voice be heard, He cares about you.
Amen.
