The Voice of Adventure

So now that we’ve had a little time to get our heads around the sale of our house; we’ve begun to look for another place to live. While we have a couple of months to find something, I have to admit it’s a little daunting… & a teensy bit scary. As a girl who draws strength & peace from inside the four walls of our ‘home’, I’m anxious to find a cozy little place to settle in & nest.

& yet…

I can’t shake the thought that God is not through teaching me how NOT to focus on what’s comfortable & safe…

‘Jesus says the options are clear. On one side there is the voice of safety. You can build a fire in the hearth, stay inside, & stay warm & dry for what you don’t try, right? You can’t fall if you don’t take a stand, right? You can’t lose your balance if you never climb, right? So don’t try it. Take the safe route.

Or can you hear the voice of adventure—God’s adventure. Instead of building a fire in your hearth, build a fire in your heart. Follow God’s impulses. Adopt a child. Move overseas. Teach a class. *Sell your house. Change careers. Run for office. Make a difference. Sure it isn’t safe, but what is?’ –Max Lucado, He Still Moves Stones.

I pray this day, for God to give me the strength I need to continue to step out in Faith & live the life of adventure He has planned for me...  

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? –Psalm 27:1

*I added 'sell your house' for effect :)
