Recently a friend of mine posted a blog about the passions he had; I said....why not write about my own passion? Here they are...
1. I am passionate for God. Sometimes the worries of this world choke me up, but I am persistant. I don't have peace if God is not by my side. My prayer always is, "Take not thy Holy Spirit from me".
2. I am passionate about my ministry. Basically, my girls (small group). There has been a few challenges along the way but in the end I believe I was meant to meet them. I was meant to care, love, and lead these young girls that will eventually go back into the world and impact it for Jesus.
3. I am passionate about my family. We are truly favored by the Lord. I am always grateful because of God's mercy towards us. His four girls =). He always got our back.
4. I am passionate about reading and writing. I have not been able to read that much lately for pleasure but I love writing. I think I would have gone crazy if it wouldn't have been for writing all my worries out. Words are powerful to me, which I believe can also be my weakness. This is just because I can be intimidated by what people would say of me. I guess I can include photography in here...while im at it.
5. I am passionate about fellowship. I hate the feeling of being lonely at night; I lived a year alone on campus...roommates are neccesary for me (even tough they can get on my nerves; I still love 'em ). Now don't get me wrong, I love having a lone time, but I also love talking and enjoy the feeling that comes when conversating with good friends. (especially while eating at sonic or while drinking tea!)
6. I am passionate about singing. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't sream out a song every once in a while. It helps me release stress. =D.
7. I am passionate about Guatemala, my country. I believe this is a piece of earth that God blessed me with. It is the closest thing to heaven. Guatemala is a nation; Guatemala is a notion.

You are from Guatemala? My first two missions trips were to Guate. I was in Antigua with Students International...we also served in Gautemala city. I had always been scared of missions but that first trip changed my life forever!
I'm from Florida...my dad is Mexican/Italian from California but my mom is Irish/British from Kentucky. Quite the mix! But that's cool about Guate and your trip this summer...the organization I worked with is still in Antigua and does trips that are open to anyone...you may want to check out their site if you were interested in going there to do missions...it's www.stint.com
I don't know if they've changed much in the past 5 years but when I was with them, it was a great ministry!
I feel you on 1,2,3,5 & 7. Those are mine too, the whole Guate thing is weird. I was born here but there is such a love for my country and my people! You know what I mean...
