[...] I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, and again, and again (you get the picture); writing is my passion, and that is why I have this silly, little blog. I am also passionate about working and [...]

Interestingly enough, I have found that being a mom has been the spring board for my pursuit of passion. I thought being a wife and a mom was all I ever wanted, but even still felt a void when that dream had come true. God has much, much more for all of us…beyond what we can imagine.

I have enjoyed what you have ‘cooked’ up so far and I look forword to your next and future posts. I can usually relate, having small children myself, you always make my laugh and THINK. Thank you and keep it coming!!

Amy, As you have experienced, living out our passions does not come over night. My passion has been for over 25 years to embrace the music industry and work to give musicians a platform. I told God if He gave me children I would give them music. My experience and passions deepened over the years and experience was in the music industry. At times frustrated with God as to why I would be running events and promoting products and services. I guess God knew I needed about 25 years of practice. Today, as I live out my passions in music I can look back on the season’s of training that I did not even know I would need, but are proving to be most valuable. Enjoy the limitations of this season, as young children do contribute to the passions no matter what they are. Blessings as you practice with each blog entree, each journal entree, and each thought unprocessed and sribbled on the side of a coloring page of one of your little sillies.

I have heard so much about this movie… I might need to see it! I too hate cooking… and doubt my passion will show up there!

Thanks Lee! I think each season of our lives opens up a new opportunity to reach out and discover a new passion. God is never finished with us!

Hi Amy,
Loved reading this – stirred my heart.
As I have entered this season of my life, leaving child rearing behind I have many questions. What now? What does God have for me to do? What is my passion?
Reading your post inspired me. I have had a burning desire to write my “story”. We as a society have given up passing on to future generations what God has done through our own lives. There are so many truths to tell of God’s faithfulness that my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and if the Lord tarries, beyond them- need to know.
Bill and I have struggled in searching out our own “family trees”. So many blank spaces of time. My heart is to leave them with more then “bits and pieces”.
Thank you Amy for stirring my heart
Blessings, Lee
