Day 2: Why is passion important?

I was really challenged today by the distinction between "passion for (a) ministry" and "passion for God." As I have progressed in language learning so that it is no longer as big of an obstacle in doing ministry, there is a feeling of "return to competency" that has lessened my sense of dependency on God. This was a good reminder to make sure that my passion is directed to God and not merely the things that I say I'm doing in His Name.

I also enjoyed reading about George and his gifted story-telling. I readily identified with that since my best friend from college is quite the story-teller, too. I thought the closing question was quite poignant and is forcing me to consider how I'm telling my story -- in a mediocre way or with emotion, enthusiasm and excitement? How about you?

I'm with you Kelly. The last question really made me stop and think, too, about the way that I'm telling my story!
