Find your passion

I don't feel I have much to say today. I had written myself a note the other day telling myself to exhort the Bottear Girlys to 'find their passion' and do it. Not a message they havent' heard before. Usually I am quoting from something on this and I'm quite worried I will lose my point and just blabber on if I am just writing myself. But girls we need to find our passion for the Lord, and what we love to do for Him. and do something about it. We are not on this earth to just make it through to the end and think our life was 'ok' ...we did it, our marriage lasted all these years and is counted as success since it didn't end in divorce, we have a few kids and they're grown up and got 'decent' jobs, we own our own home, people think we are nice. What good is that for eternity eh?

You don't need to drop everything and run halfway across the globe to live totally for Jesus, do it here...where you are now. Live a life marked with passion and desire for your King. (I'm not claiming to have this sorted, I'm speaking to myself here). Do radical things to protect your time ALONE with your Saviour, you know the people that encourage you and get you fired up for God...spend time with them. And for the people who do the opposite (like encourage gossip, materialism)...pray that God will help you through that and give you the strength to keep your eyes on Him. Do whatever it takes but don't waste your life. Houses and cars and clothes count for nothing.

I've discovered my passion is women and I want wonderful marriages for the girls I know who are married...and the single girls I know, I want to see them fired up for Jesus, their husband. Not waiting around for Mr Right. When I see a husband or wife treating the other badly I just want to scream at them to wise up (I doubt that is the approach I should take). Same goes for the girls not treating their husbands the best. I want to see the wives joyfully looking after their home and children. Stuff the world's view of success; your priorities are Jesus, husband, children, in that order...not career, house, car, clothes, makeup...

Anyway enough of my rant. Hope this was useful. Feel free to correct me on anything.
