I am doing a fun bible study with some ladies at my church and one of the things we are talking about are spiritual gifts, fruit of the spirit and how they figure in to service and finding your passion within the church (and life) to serve and participate and to do so more richly. As I study I am finding this applies to everything and it’s really helping me focus in on some talents and feel less guilty about others because I am learning that I was fearfully and wonderfully made and there is a place even for me! So I don’t have to feel guilty that I am not quite as Martha Stewart as I thought I needed to be etc. ;)
I thought it would be fun to just share one of the questions she gave as homework and see if it inspires you to find out more about your passions and where you fit in:
Imagine that you and I are meeting for the first time. In the course of our conversation, we talk about a variety of topics. Then we turn to a new subject. As you are talking to me about it, you start speaking faster. You lean forward. You become increasingly animated. You are talking about a subject that could keep you up late at night and cause you to jump out of bed in the morning. What are we talking about?
Some interesting web links in regard to finding your passion:
