one year ago today I wrote a blog post on my passions wants and desires. I would love to expand on this topic a year later, but read the old one first....
My God Given Passions...
I have a passion for lost Christians. The people who have fallen
between the cracks, who have messed up and feel they can’t repent or
are ashamed of their mistakes, these are the people that I feel God
wants me to minister to. I weep for people that aren’t planted in a
life giving church, who have been offended by others or a church and
have left the body. I stay up at night interceding in behalf of the
young adults who miss their potential because they are caught up in
this world and the sinful, lustful, nasty things it has to offer that
just “feel” so good.
I don’t have a heart for unchurched people who don’t know Jesus
somewhere in New Guinea, I don’t passionately pray for teenagers and
children to know the lord. My heart is to debunk hypocrites, find the
lost sheep and show them what life in Christ is truly all about!
There are so many Christians in this world that aren’t living the life
God made them for and I want to teach them, guide them, and show them
what life is really all about. I was lost for so long I know I missed
so many purposes ad opportunities but no one ever has to do that!
It’s all about being planted properly once you accept Jesus as your
savor. I am praying for the resources and opportunities to do this
ministry one day. To have a team of people who will connect with new
Christians and seek out older Christians who miss the mark.
My heart is to start people off right! so watch out because I’m about
to start a journey for God unlike any I have ever tried before, to
step outside of myself and try something new. I am praying for change
as this idea and God given passion is an amazing change that will
change people’s lives!

somewhere in the past year I lost this thought and passion. It's was not until my pastor started a series at church on the lost I remembered this burning fire that once burning inside me, and just earlier this week I was talking to a friend about this exact thing! I know that I have a lot of growth and work to do before I can start a public ministry, but I still want to kindle this fire with developing a game plan and proposal to put forth to my church. A year later and I have more vision and ideas and I am praying that this year I actually act upon this passion and I am not circulating the same idea in my head but have seen this seed planted and starting to bare fruit!
pray for me, as this is a big God dream I can't do without humbly submitting to his will and authority, to do it all in his time!
