DO YOU WANT MORE?

A few years ago our family was trying to teach 

our youngest grandson how to say more when he 

wanted more food.  We thought this little guy loved

food more than anything other than ducks, which 

he was consumed with.  We had spent months 

trying to teach him how to say more in sign 

language and he just wasn't responding to it

like our grand-daughter had when she 

was young.  

One evening as I was playing with him before

his bedtime I was kissing him all over his little face.

When I stopped he sat up and told me "more" in 

sign language for the first time.  This started 

about a three to four minute game which we 

captured the end of it on video.  

As I was driving to work yesterday I began

to ponder my walk with the Lord.   There 

have been times that I was a Sunday School 

teacher and I loved it, There were times I worked

at the Baptist Student Center and Associational

office and I loved it.  There were times I kept the

nursery and I also loved it but then when I began

to meet people daily and give them a copy of Digging

a Well or the Devotional book, I became like my

little grandson and a passion broke forth from my

heart and I could only ask for more.  

Have you found your passion or are you just 

satisfied enjoying what you are doing.  There is a 

huge difference.  You might say, I can't find my 

passion because I am having to work a full time 

job, take care of my children, take care of 

grandchildren, or take care of my husband.  

I can truly say that you can still find your 

passion.  The busiest, roughest time in my 

life when everything was falling apart 

and I had no time to go out and find 

my passion is when my passion found me.  

"Wait, Watch and Pray"

this is my motto

Wait, Watch and Pray about the things that are 

around you and ask the Lord to help you find 

your passion in the midst of your everyday life.

I see on Facebook and with the people I talk to 

daily that they have a burning in their heart or

they have a desire they can't fulfill.  They are

trying to fulfill it with wordly things that only

temporarily satisfy, but when you find your

real passion and it is in line with the Word or

God, then your heart, soul and mind all line 

up together and you can only cry out for more.  

Who knows, he may choose to grow it from 

that small passion that you begin to do daily into a 

large passion that you can do every day of the 

week.  As for now, I still have a full time job, 

But your passion could out grow your job

and mine could too some day.

I still play the piano at my church and build

the PowerPoint for the worship services, I still 

have all my wonderful children and my beautiful 

grandchildren that I keep once a week.  I still cook, 

sew, teach piano and in the midst of all those 

things I am able to plant seeds and help cultivate 

them for the glory of the Lord.  I give anywhere 

from two to five books per day away and have 

gotten to watch the Lord open the windows 

of heaven moment by moment, one step at a time 

as I flourish in my passion and he opens the door 

for it to grow deeper each day. 

Do you want more?  

Then ask for it!
