Passionate vs. Logical

I consider myself a pretty logical person, but sometimes it can get me in trouble. i was looking over a past journal entry that i did a couple months ago in my quiet times through Nehemiah. What i realized back then and today, is that sometimes it is ok to be passionate and logical. Nehemiah saw a need, and wasn't worried about how it was going to happen or how he would do it. What he did was present his dilemma to God and let him lead him, even if he did not know what was to come of him. He was passionate about doing the Lords work, and if he thought like I do sometimes, he probably would not have gone. He would have named off every reason it was a bad decision, and it was better for him to stay as the Kings cup bearer. The problem with that decision is that he would have missed out on an exciting journey and experience that God had for him, he would have missed the opportunity to grow, and missed the opportunity to become one of the greatest examples of a leader that there is. Sometimes we just have to take that chance. Well i gotta go, parents just got home from hawaii...brats.
