What are you passionate about?

Your husband? Hopefully.
Your kids? Yes.
God. YES!
What about the stuff you do in your daily life? Can you honestly say you're following your passions? 
This is a quote from Debbie Macomber's book Knit Together.
If you haven't read it I highly recommend it. It's about Debbie's
journey to becoming a NY Times Best-selling author. The thing I loved
the most was seeing Debbie's heart for God.
“Passion shouldn’t
always be equated with fun. But if what you’re doing doesn’t spur you
to experience joy or a sense of accomplishment, or provoke something
inside you that makes you want to keep going, it’s time to take a step
back and reexamine what you’re doing and whether the purpose you’re
pursuing is really the purpose God has in mind.”
If you take a step back and examine your pursuits, what do you find?
Think
about the things you do day-to-day. Are there things you're doing
because you didn't want to say no? Are there things you could pass off
to someone else in order to pursue your passion?
I can't tell
you I LOVE 100% of my moments writing. Or LOVE 100% the business part
of writing. But I'm passionate about spreading God's Word through
words. I love it! How about you?
