What absolutey "revs your engine?"
What "provokes you" in the deepest sense?
What is it, that infuriates you?
What causes your heart to break?
I would answer like this:
(these things rev my engine)
My God.
My husband. (He's absolutely the best, besides he puts up with me!)
My family.
My friends.
Learning. Teaching. Writing. I guess i see no purpose to it - if you don't share what you learn...
People finding God- and growing in him.
Suffering Provokes me to acts of compassion.
Relationships. I am passionate about healthy relationships.... (though I'm not always the HEALTHY ONE in my relationships! If nothing else- I know I am imperfect- and a bit crazy.)
Working as a team.
Kids. Loving them- and teaching them.
Injustice infuriates me.
People not recognizing as God is active in their lives.....breaks my heart.
Worship experiences that are about "PEOPLE" instead of God- breaks my heart.
Lying infuriates me.
People learning what their "Thing" is and helping them "DO IT" Seeing them grow--- that totally rev's my engine.
So, in light of all this- what did I do today? Did I do anything that I'm passionate about?
Yep.
What Will I do tomorrow? MORE.
What will YOU?
Dear Lord- I pray that I can always seek to serve you first, in the ways that you have "wired" me- I love you and ask you to fill me with your love for others- amen!
