Balance... but where is the passion?

Journaling reads:

Balance. Safety. Control.

But where is the passion?

I did this for the One Little Word challenge. I think that so often I get caught up in balance that I forget my passion. "Don't get to radical. Don't get to hot or cold. Stay in the middle." This is my reminder to myself.

Look Past Me

Look past me...

"OK, I'll shut up now. When I'm passionate about something, I can get carried away."
"Don't worry about it. It's not about you anyways!"

It's not about me. I might be involved by loving on you, pointing you in a certain direction, challenging you in some way, showing you a bigger picture. But, the bottom line is... look past me to the One I reflect.

I made this layout at one point when I was struggling with some fear. But God showed me that the situation I was facing was about Him, NOT about me. HE'S the big picture. I'm just an instrument He uses. I'm here to relect Him. There is value and joy in being His instrument, because HE CHOOSES to use me. Amazing, isn't it? :-)
