sometimes i struggle to find my passion.
but more frequently i struggle to narrow down my passion.
because - you see- you can only open one door at a time.
monday i fall back in love with Singing.
tuesday i rediscover cooking.
wednesday i delve into the possibilities of owning a high end salon/spa.
thursday i realize my life is incomplete until i write a book.
friday i recognize my deep desire to love one another as they love you.
saturday finds me in on the water relaxing in my inner artist.
sunday unearths the calling to teach, father, dad, and create.
and then i remember everything else:
travel, discovery, invention, exploration.
except the list is much longer than days in a week.
longer even than days in a month, a year, a lifetime.
it's a growing register of ambition that's paralyzing with its enormity.
where does one begin? where do i even start?
Isn't it great that we have so many options and wonderful things in this life!!!
I have no idea which will unfold as my life's pursuit.
maybe none,
maybe all.
I think I may just take it one day at a time.
I am reminded of the scripture....
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Matthew 7:7–8).
I love this.
As I think of my own father, 'dad', I believe he wants me to enjoy my best intrest. I can't think of a time where he hadn't ever taught, shown me, or lead me to find anything but that. I know its the same with my Heavenly Father.
I like to think that because I have tried to maintain a close relationship with him- he has yet to guide me down a wrong path, nor has left me to decide something important on my own. I think that's just what a father would do. I am so fortunate to know that I can not only enjoy things and learn and grow on this earth- yet I get to travel, discover, invent, and explore with the lord right by my side and with his spirit to guide me EVERY SINGLE DAY.
