I've been back in LA for a little over a week, and I'm already super stoked on what God's doing through this school. After taking care of some logistical stuff in the first few days of the past week, we jumped right into teachings beginning with a pretty in-depth study about passion.
We studied what passion constitutes of, what some of our our passions are, some of God's passions, and even how our passions may (or may not) line up with those of God. Something I really took out of the teaching was the speaker's definition of passion, which is "something you're willing to suffer for." That definitely spoke to me and really made me think,
"What am I willing to suffer for?"
In asking myself that question and really seeking God for his thoughts, I was pretty excited about the list that I came up with. Several of these passions you've probably heard me going on about before, seeing as how I talked about them a lot during my time home. But for those of you who might not know, here are a few of them so you can get an idea of what I'm excited about living for:
*Seeing women of all ages discover how beautiful, precious, and loved they are. Watching their mindsets of themselves change over time from how the world sees them to how God sees them.
*Teaching women to trust God with their identity, beauty, boys, futures, and lives overall.
*Meeting with girls, encouraging them, and guiding them through difficult situations.
*Ministering to those who are in the entertainment and fashion industries.
*Learning about how God views me, and seeking his thoughts of me above all else.
*Playing with children and showing them God's love.
Like I said, these are just a few of the passions that God has placed in my heart over the last few years. Passions that I have been constantly becoming more and more excited for. Passions that have really begun to shape who I am and how God wants to use me through the rest of my life. A woman who invests in others to bring truth. Who fears the Lord above all else.
"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
Proverbs 31:30 (ESV)
