I sat here reading it saying "Yes. yes, YES!" I am finding the more passion I have for God, the more passion I have for my husband, and boys. I am not sure what came first but feeling better about life, feeling more intimate with God, and feeling closer to my family all seem to be tied together. I want, so badly, to improve the Kingdom of God. I want to make a difference for others especially my family. I want to test the limits of what a relationship with God can be like on this side of eternity. This was a powerful post. It stirred something in me. It made me thirsty. God Bless.
