What moves me most to love? How do I tick, so to speak? What is it in my life that I am drawn to with such passion that I am deep in the midst of a heap of love? I need to answer this question and I need to keep this in mind when I feel passions or desires and things that drive me.
This is all from Teresa of Avila who is teaching me the deep secrets of prayer and my soul. I need to know myself, but this is the center of all that I seek or so I think. Where is my heart in this life, what gives it life?
Admittedly, this is something I need to discern for the discovery of where I'm supposed to be, seminary, married, or religious life.
I just gotsta know.

But isn't that easy? Your heart lies with God- you don't need to worry about anything Michael. I think you're prolly saying you need to identify what drives you to do certain things- to make sure God IS indeed your motive. If you're following you don't have anything to worry about- he can take us on such wild rides.
Certianly, it should be my love of God, but I'm thinking in certain things. Like what in this life that just errupts my heart in longing. I think I've discovered that helping those who are seeking and are lost. Those who need to find God and that is a big part of why I want to be a priest. I guess its just something that needs to come out more and I need to be more conscious of so to speak. I want to discover this more deeply.
COOL!
