Adventure Beckons

"God has designed countless opportunities for each of us to enjoy a spirit of adventure, no matter where we are or what we're doing. Instead of being adrift in the mundane routine of everyday life, we can be captured by wonder." - Luci Swindoll

I really believe adventure exists in every moment. I am reading this book right now that's helping me see adventure through a different lens. As I get ready to leave for a mission trip with 50 high school students in 2 days, I am praying that God would reveal himself in new and incredible ways. Of course He is always doing this, if only my eyes looked at the world differently, if only my ears listened with intention. I wrote a few thoughts in my journal the other day, just free flow thought.
Pretty much my heart these days.

Adventure Beckons
My heart stirs deeply
I can think of nothing other than running wild
So many days stuck in routine
I'm ready to see with new eyes
Can't imagine how He sees the world: unlimited possibility, creativity unleashed
and yet we find ourselves stuck in a rut, stuck in monotony
Where Wonder have you gone
to businesses and capital gains, drowned in the toilet
I want to break free of expectations, empty boxes, corners that trap, and minds that disengage,
O Wonder fill my heart with stories untold, with new eyes that admire your beauty
I want to get lost in you even if no one understands
