What does it take to be great?
One might say that greatness can be taught.. while I believe this is true, I don't believe that an unwilling individual can merely be taught to attain eminence. Greatness requires passion and fervent pursuit. I have passion and I'm ready to pursue the dreams that God has sown so delicately in my heart.. I will chase desire as long as I'm breathing.
You may ask, "What are you passionate about?"
I am passionate about the smiles on children's faces.. ones that withstand hardship, pain and suffering and endure through the trials that the world has laid heavy upon them. I am passionate about seeing individuals' faces light up for the first time when they feel God's unending love. I am passionate about working hard for change in a broken world because I know my God is so much bigger than the destruction. I am passionate about worshipping Jesus, in spirit AND in truth and I will sing until I can't find the words to describe His beauty and will press on even still. I am passionate about capturing truth, beauty, pain and every other emotion on film and exposing it raw and unrefined in its natural splendor. My passion runs deep and wide and will not be suppressed.
So what are you passionate about? Pursue it til the end because Christ's passion took Him to the cross.
you write beautifully.
