Passion

No, this is not my contribution to the upcoming Valentine's Day.  Valentine's Day is my least favorite holiday.  I don't like roses or jewelry and TV commercials this time of year make me sick to my stomach.  Maybe it is the nonconformist in me, but I would prefer my husband just NOT tell me he loves me that day, and then make up for it by being genuine all others.  Blech.  Gag.  Retch.

ANYWAY.

I heard this on the radio today (or something to this effect)
"Your passion is bigger than all your fears and insecurities.">Beth Moore

That really grabbed my attention.  I mean, I'm a really passionate person.  Almost freakishly so sometimes. I do everything 100% (except housework.  it is NOT a passion of mine).  There are a lot of things that I am passionate about.  Things I really want (and feel God's leading) to do.

Unfortunately, I also have a lot of fears and insecurities.  Some founded and some not.  Some I've had my whole life (stage fright for one!) and some I've cultivated through experience as an adult...

But here's what popped in my mind when I heard that quote--- If MY passion is bigger than my fears and insecurities, then certainly GOD's passion is bigger than my fears and insecurities.  I can't wait to see how He will overcome some of them.  I just hope it doesn't hurt too bad... Hear that?!?!?
