"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other. So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Rev 3:15-16
I have chosen to memorize this verse since it is our theme verse for the next year here at Amor. This is a tough verse. There is no in between with God. It is probably not fun to be "lukewarm" anyway. Funny thing is, I often find myself being lukewarm. I get lazy and lose passion and fire. I don't know why I do that - is it my way of checking out and taking a breather or is it just easier to be lazy and not apply passion to my life and walk with the Lord. Lazy is not profitable for anyone, especially myself and my family. I want to live life to its fullest with passion and zeal. I want to know God and be known by God. I want to love others the way Christ loves me. I want to continually give of myself and find energy in being loving and compassionate to all that I encounter. What about you? What is your purpose and passion in life? What do you want to go out of this life being known for?

Katie,
This is my first visit to your blog- or any blog, for that matter but I am impressed with your willingness to share yourself at this level. Therefore, so shall I.
Since I don't know when I will be leaving this life, it's important I leave it feeling "whole". Living life with passion doesn't necessarily mean that I always have tremendous energy to give outwardly in eveyr moment to living it but can mean I am, at least, always looking for the good or reminding myself to look for the good when I find I'm faltering in that way - only human.
Who wouldn't say they want those they love to "know" it when they pass. I want to be certain that I've done my part to make certain they know I love them although explaining the depth of my love I find impossible. Otherwise, helping others to reach their goals through the skills God has given me and that I use through my profession brings great personal satisfaction, reminding me to thank God daily for my blessings, reminding me to tell those I love, I love them. It's a lovely cycle.
Love,
Aunt Mary
