BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL.

Thursday, February 6, 2014

This is the third consecutive night I've stayed up past 3 a.m. but I can't even complain because it makes me feel alive (cliche?). I've never felt so invested and attracted to a project before and it feels stinking good.

If you follow me on any of my social media platforms, then you probably know what this is regarding. (I also apologize for the overload of updates, hehe. But I hope it does nothing but brighten your day.) Once the #TENDAYSOFLOVE initiative launched, I went in full throttle. I believe whole-heartedly in this project and am pouring 100% of myself into it. From planning to designing all the visuals to reaching out to potential partners and overseeing executions, I would be lying if it I said it wasn't time-consuming... It has literally been taking chunks and chunks out of my day, not to mention brain power... but I want to give it my best. My thoughts just naturally start drifting in that space now. No room for half-butting.

My classes are on the back burner right now, but PTL that I am only a part-time student this semester and have the time to do something like this! I am even considering taking all of my classes for credit only so that I can focus on more individual ventures without worrying about it affecting my GPA. We'll see about that—I'm still not sure if that is the smartest decision. A majority of my classes are core major classes, so the content is interesting and something I should be learning anyway.

I am seriously living and breathing these quotes right now. 
I hope one day this means something to you, too.


THIS WORLD NEEDS TO SEE YOUR PASSION.

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

I love to create.

I love it, I love it. 

Whether it be in the form of scrapbooking, writing, crafting, cooking, making home movies, taking photos (or Instagramming them), whatever! There is an indescribable joy that fills my BONES throughout the process. Do you feel me?

I don't think that says something significant about me, though, I think it says something about Him! When I turn to scripture, I see that God's first role recorded was as a creator
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
Since I am made in His image, I believe my desire to create is a reflection of who He is. When I think about that, I want to create all the more. (: Creating feels purposeful. I bet you, too, have a passion that was so intricately and intentionally planted in your heart as a gift from our God. I bet you, too, reflect a glimpse of Him each time you unfold it. Allow yourself to unfold it.

I love to surround myself around those who are passionate about the work they do, because it takes courage and dedication—it's also contagious. It's inspiring and moving and beautiful to see people do the work they love. It's like that's what they were made to do, and it gives me the courage to keep pursuing the things I feel like I was made to do, too. 

Can you believe that our God created each of us with such unique talents, gifts, and interests? He is definitely a creative one. 

Do you know your passion? I hope you do, and if you don't, I hope you discover it one day real soon. When you do, I hope you have the boldness to unleash it, hone it, and share it with the world. This world needs to see your passion.
