Passion...

My husband told me about a year ago that i was not passionate about anything. Quite frankly, that struck a nerve, but at that time,when i took a good look in the mirror, I had to agree with him...(unbeknown st to him of course!.) As I was reading a book one night almost 6 months later, little did I know I was going to be stirred with a passion that would sweep me off my feet. That is where I am today, as I begin this journey of serving alongside a body of believers that is incredible. What is even more incredible is that My Heavenly Father knew before I was born that I would have that one and only passion...To Serve Him and Him alone!
I love my family and I love my friends, but if My Father calls me to the ends of the earth, I will follow.

So, that is where I will begin this journey of blogging...I have a huge heart for missions that I did not knew existed until returning home from Uganda several months ago. I have the great privilege of helping lead our church in missions. We as a church have a passion to touch the world. We are all called to go to the ends of the earth. We want to bring God glory in all that we do and in all that we say. We no longer want to look like the rest of the world...we have to live in this world, but not be of this world.
I am reading Transformational Church as I write this blog, which I know is by no coincidence.
An excerpt from Transformational Church:
"God's heart for the world becomes a mandate for His followers to love the peoples of the world and go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19-20). God's love for the world is more than a special offering, a mission trip, or a video clip. When we decide to embrace the mission of God, we embrace all 6.8 billion people. Transformational Churches have learned to address the need to work both locally and globally."
I am learning to embrace this passion and desire that The Lord has placed in my heart...I look forward to road ahead...

Dear Father, I pray that we continue to stay mission minded, that we do not forget  the missionaries that are losing their lives in His name. I pray Father that we continue to seek You in all that we do, in all that way say. I pray we die to ourselves, so that you may live within us. I pray for the lost Father, I pray we are examples of your forgiving, non judgemental love. That we love others as ourselves. That we constantly keep our focus upon You.May we always give You all the glory, in all we do.  In your precious name~
