On Buying Books, Passion and Inspiration

I am indeed a book lover. I have tried to just forget abut buying books but to no avail. I have always loved books. In fact, I have more books than clothes, my nook is just so full of them.

I am thankful for God's provisions for me. Yet, somehow I still feel this guilt inside me for I bought again books instead of just saving my money for the bad days. But now, I have realized that the reason probably why I bought books again yesterday was the one that I read from a book by Zig Ziglar.

It was all about investing for what I am passionate about.Investing for my inspiration. Now what is my passion? Passions rather. I think I am really passionate about young children. My desire to help them. I have this vision that someday I will become a parenting counselor and speaker. My life will be used to minister to lots of young people aged 0-21 years old. I will also minister to parents using the ability and skills God has endowed me with.

Now what is the best time to invest on this vision? Now. Now that I still have time and resources. Now that I am still young and have more time to study and to sharpen my skills.

No, this is not justification of my actions. I still spent my money but somehow I should not overkill myself with guilt. I did not buy useless materials. I bought books to improve my communication both spoken and written skills and to learn more about the ministry that I am going to have which is to help children.

Yes, I still have books not yet read, I still have lots on my waiting list but I can use them in due time. For now, if I still have the resources I will just buy whatever I deem is helpful for me. Yet, all by God's grace and wisdom.

Now I am more propelled to study and to just read and write. I am passionate about words, I study Spanish online. I can see now what I am really passionate about. Words, children and there's still music. But that is going to be another story. I will just focus on words and children first, while singing. Yes, while singing.
