What are your passions?

Passion-is a strong feeling, emotion, belief, fondness,enthusiasm, or strong desire. If you read my blog entry just below you will understand this post.
Epiphany tagged me with this question "What are your passions?".
After much thought, this is what I came up with...
1. My God is #1. I love Him and I think He is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. He has been the ONLY thing that has brought me complete joy. He has satisfied that longing I had for love. He loved me when I didn't even love myself. He saw something in me that noone else saw. He changed me from the inside out. I don't know why He loves me and cares about me, because I don't deserve it, but I'm forever grateful that He does.

2.My family. I thank God for my family. No we haven't been the perfect family. We've had our fair share of ups and downs, good days and bad. We've faced many trials and we've been down some tough roads, but each time we've looked back God has been with us every step of the way. He has brought us through and taught us so much. He has blessed us in so many ways and still is blessing us as I write this. It's true that a marriage takes 3...God,man,and woman. Without the first you might as well give it up. Yes, my family is precious to me and I have God to thank for blessing me with them. My family although hasn't been a perfect one, it has brought me some of the greatest joy I've known.

3.God's word. I have a passion for the word of God. My hubby says I'm addicted to reading and he is some what right. I just can't seem to get enough. I want to learn and know all I can about God. I love Him so much and when I read His word it's just like I am talking one on one with Him. I can't tell you exactly how I feel, but it's kinda like a high. I get a high out of learning about Him. I just want to be as close to Him and know all I can about Him.

4. Photography. It's my passion. I love pictures. I look around at all the beauty God has blessed us with and I want to capture every moment I can. As I've told you, I'm going to school to be a photographer,so I can't seem to take enough pictures lately. Once my hubby told me that I take to many pictures. I told him that pictures make me happy, so I take as many as I can. When my brother passed away in 2005, I realized how few pictures we had of him in his adult years and the ones we had were because I had taken them. Had I not taken the time, we wouldn't have had any. Since then my hubby has never opened his mouth about my picture addiction and it was actually him who encouraged me to go back to school to be a photographer and yes he even paid for my schooling and bought my camera:)

5.Kids!!!!! The one thing that everybody (that knows me) can say about me is that I love kids! Do you know why I love kids??? Because they love you back.
I love my kids and I have loved being a mother to them. I wouldn't trade my kids for nothing in this world. I love them dearly, but I also love my other kids (everybody Else's kids). I'd rather spend my day with a dozen kids then I would a half a dozen adults ,because kids are the real deal. They aren't like adults. Yes, they disagree and fuss ,but then they make up and can actually forgive and forget and move on. They go right back to playing together the same day as if it never happened...adults on the other hand carry grudges, and are always comparing and trying to out do every other adult,they struggle with the forgive and forget part, and can be so hard hearted. The bible tells us in Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. That is a powerful verse. Maybe we adults need to take a few lessons from the kids.

6.I love learning. I love learning new things. If I find something interesting,I will spend hours at a time trying to learn all about it. I am not scared to try something new or to learn something that I don't know.

7.Flower gardening. I love it! I love how I can plant a little seed and God can take that little seed and make it into a beautiful flower. However, I am not the best gardener, but I sure enjoy trying my green thumb:)

Well, that is all I can think of at this very minute. If something else comes to mind I'll add it.
Now it's your turn. Tell me about your passions:)
