Do What You Love and Love What You Do

January 1, 2012 I started the year with a Daniel fast; only fruits and veggies for the first 21 days  of 2012. I chose it, and it was good. I would be reminded everyday of Who my Daily Bread really is. I had good times of dreaming, and worshipping and refocusing and starting the year off putting a stake on the ground. I belong to Jesus; He's my savior my Lord my lover, my everything. Food is good, I'm so thankful for my taste buds (Go God!), but nothing compares to His presence. Not everyday was as easy, quite honestly. But it doesn't matter 'cause, it's over.

Yesterday I went to a class where our mentor talked about goals and dreams and practical "next steps". He talked about finding out what you really love, in every aspect of life; objects, colors, activities... and then dreams and occupations. He suggested to take a month and purposefully figuring it out. So I'm starting today! The teacher talked about how we're each so unique, and finding those things we love, combined with the realization of Whose we are really sets you up for a journey of awakening, and I believe it. Later in the day I came across that titling phrase: "Do what you love and love what you do".  (By the way I love a good quote ;) I think even a dream job has those routine tasks that need a little love to be made more enjoyable.

I wanted to share with you some of the things I love, I'll start simple. It's so cool that creation is so diverse and wide and there are things that have no other "purpose" than expressing His beauty and creativity. So, here I go: I do love chocolate; dark, plain. I love a good cup of bold coffee in the morning, and lately I get to enjoy it with a beautiful view of the mountains, so I love that! I love the colo purple, it's so deep, it's a mix of red and blue, so intense! ha, ha! I like clothes accessorizing; necklaces, earrings, rings, so fun to wear!

I like how this year's being set off, first with some tuning in through fasting and now through a feasting journey of discovery with my Papa. I won't get into all the deeper stuff just yet, I want to wait, I want to listen to my Maker and the heart He gave me. I will declare tho' that I do love Him, beyond what the English word "love" can describe, beyond languages and words, I love my Papa!!
