Who am I???

Have you ever asked yourself that question? What are the things that make you, you? I've been pondering these thoughts lately. It all started with a Bible study we were doing in small group and our sermon series for the month. It was all about worship - how you worship, what you worship, etc. We talked about finding things we are passionate about and using those things to worship God. As I thought about what I'm passionate about, it took me back to a conversation I had with Brandon a while back. He said to me "Tessa, what do you like to do, what are your hobbies?". We were discussing this in the context of why it is hard for him to really plan things for me, and I really had no answer. Then, again this weekend, my sister and I were talking about the same thing. She, however, was telling me that it is hard for her to think of things that she enjoys doing and I told her I could relate. I mean, sure, I like to shop, I like to cook, I like to hang out with friends and family, I like to travel, but most people love to do those things. And, I can't really say I'm "passionate" about any of those things. Brandon, though, is very passionate about projects and working with his hands. He is also passionate about kids. Those are all things he can use to worship God, and he is already thinking of ways to do that. Me on the other hand, I just don't know. So, it brings me to my original questions - who am I and what makes me, me? If anyone has a great way of figuring out how I can discover my passions, let me know! I've done the spiritual gifts inventory, but it has been a while. Maybe I need to do that again.... Well, this was kind of a jumbled post, but it's the hot topic on my mind today!
