.adventure.

A little fact about me?

I love adventure.

Just hearing the word makes my heart leap. It's alluring. It's enchanting. It's...almost elusive.

...or so many think. They dream of adventure. They long for it. But, in their minds, adventure is still just pirates and princesses, heros and villains, "far-off lands, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!"

Now, I'm all about that type of adventure. And I'm just like Belle, wanting "adventure in the great wide somewhere." (Two Disney quotes already? It's a good day.)  But, here's the thing I believe about adventure.

Down the street or in another country, adventure is EVERYWHERE!

It's about embracing this wild, beautiful life that God has graciously bestowed upon me. And so...adventure is...

.dancing in the rain.
.making a new friend.
.laughing with exuberance.
.running as fast as I can.
.dreaming.
.traveling.
.soaking in the sunshine.
.spending time with those I love.


And that is just the beginning.
But, let me say something else.

This type of adventure is fleeting.

True adventure is about surrendering to Yahweh...completely... remembering that He is the very breath I breathe.
It's about listening to the Lord say "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21). Every. Single. Moment.
It's living in His love. Then pouring that love out onto the lost, hurting, and broken world around me.


I will never find a greater adventure.

.my heart quickens.

Romans 10:13-15:

13 "For, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!'"

With these words, my heart leaps within me. I am full of longing. Yet, as much as I wait in eager anticipation, I know His timing is perfect.

And so I wait.
