1125–75; Middle English (< Old French ) < Medieval Latin passiōn- (stem of passiō ) Christ's sufferings on the cross, any of the Biblical accounts of these (> late Old English passiōn ), special use of Late Latin passiō suffering, submission, derivative of Latin passus, past participle of patī to suffer, submit
About two years ago I started to feel my passions slowly starting to fade into the background of my life, and I started to take on another persons passions. I started to take on Marshalls passions and was loosing my own. I knew this then and I still acknowledge that it was happening. Marshall would ask me at times, "what are you passions Mal" or "what are you passionate about?" And I wouldn't have an answer. I felt lost. It wasn't a great feeling to not have any idea what I was passionate about. Since then I have tried to figure it out but haven't gotten very far. I still don't know entirely what my passions are, however after this last week I am starting to think about it more and more. My desire to have my own passions has come back.
This last week, was the first week of our SOMD, School of Ministry Development, at YWAM LA. We watched a lecture on Passions by Floyd McClung and it stirred back in me that this is something I need to pursue again. I feel like this is going to take me down a path I haven't been down before, as I have huge changes coming in my life, I believe that my passions will change and be developed from what they once were to what they will be.
