Crazy Irish Maid.

Over the past few weeks, I have managed to find out what I am passionate about... It's rather fun.

Growing up my friends would always know when to stop arguing with me about things, because I would go "crazy on them." then they found out about my Great (great?) grandmother.

She was a proper Protestant Irish woman... and they had to leave Ireland due to the Catholics.

So when they arrived in the states they settled down... and the priest came to visit them. What what the problem? He was a CATHOLIC priest. My Great grandma beat him over the head with a broom down their country road and into town.

Everyone says I have her temper, her headstrong personality, and her looks. and now I've been to Ireland, and I fully understand her frustration at being made to leave.

Hence I am now the crazy Irish maid.

I have also looked up the definition of Geek for you (I will explain my sudden rabbit trail) And it is: A person who is obsessive/passionate over something... So I'm a cooking/photography/school/Jesus geek.

Now here is the thing... when I'm passionate about something, you can tell. I was talking to my friend the other night about youth groups, and what failures I think they are. I would start on my schpeil, but you would never hear the end of it. Lets just say my whole persona shifted.

I became... crazy Irish maid.

Honestly it made me think. I care deeply enough about this subject that people can see it in my eyes. How do I communicate that all the time? Are somethings in the life people are just supposed to ask you why you are doing what you do? Are people going to look at my pictures in 10 years and ask me why I didn't pursue it? Why I gave up Culinary School? Graduate School?

Or will people look at me and just know why. Because I am passionate about Jesus, and I want people to know that about me. All the time. I want to be the person you see walking down the street and everyone knows that they are God's. 100%. And there is no confusion about it. There is just... you know.

You just know.

I don't know about you... but I want to be that person.

Katydid Out.
