  Read what I wrote last night...hope it wasn't confusing....but was thinking more 2day. The relationship between driving passion (DP) and responsibilities (Rs) can be seen in so many areas of our lives and @ so many levels. Because of my DP for my family I take on the Rs of my job. The DP for my family transfers to a DP for my job but not for the job's sake, it is still for the families' sake. Because I now have a DP for my job I take on the Rs within my job. The DP for my family transfers to a DP for the Rs within my job but not for those Rs ' sake it is for the job's sake but in turn, ultimately, for the families' sake.
And so the things my job requires me to do that may be odious to me I have a DP to do, not for their sake, but for my families' sake. And the same way the things in my job I love to do will never replace the DP I have for my family because the only reason I am in the position to accomplish them is because my passion for my family drove me there.
It is like the layers of an onion....in some way....I guess :) So...as we follow God what can come between us unless we choose to exchange our DP for him with a DP for something else. Basically, unless we begin to worship something else as God. And what can drive us from him? Surely not those things we don't enjoy or that cause us pain!
Our DP for God makes those things palatable and as James said we are able to rejoice in the hard places of life. Not because they are hard but because our DP for God makes them a desirable thing if they fall within our Rs . So....the question then is .... What has your DP ????? Because that's what you worship. d4l3 ps - Now u know why I call this Thoughts Crashing :/
