With Everything

Colossians 3: 23-24
Wheatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as
working for the Lord, not for men, since you
know that you will receive an inheritance from
the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you
are serving.

So, I'm about to start my spring semester. One, this is supposed to be my last semester. Two, I just changed my major. This = :/ or :] or both. Well, this is how my mind goes about dealing with this. I should be graduating and I'm not! This freaks me out. I changed my major for a reason though - a deep, heart aching reason.

I feel and know Spanish and photography are passions God has placed in me for a very special purpose. And I desire, with an aching heart, to please God through obedience to this passion. But, I'm not graduating. I'm not on the plan people expected from me - that I expected from myself. I'm not a people pleaser but I dislike dissapointing people. That's not the same thing, right?

wrong.

Colossians 3:23-24 Rachael!
Do everything... everything, everything, everything, with your whole heart and make it pleasing to the Lord. not people... the Lord.

My passions are my purpose - what my heart beats for.

I pray this semester is different.
I pray for God-led passion, not self-led passion.
I pray to work with all my heart.
