How do life changing adventures like this trip occur? I’ve been asking myself that question much recently. Is there any way to quantify those moments, those minutes where a decision is made the results of which leave you forever changed? Who knows on any given day whether the love of your life might appear? Who can imagine when they wake that an opportunity will be given to them, an chance which moments or months away will challenge their faith, call them to a far off shore, or introduce them to a lifelong friend?
I feel as though I’ve stepped into a summer of such opportunity. Moving to the West Coast, meeting dozens if not hundreds of future friends, leaving the land of Pennsylvania with all its lush green hills and fields for the beaches, mountains, and deserts of California. Saying goodbye to all that is comfortable and known in my life- that is an experience. Its an opportunity that I 30% fear and 70% savor.
Now I’m only hours away from our country’s southern neighbor, Mexico. Who knows what the next seven days will bring. If this trip proves in any way similar to my last trip it may take us all seven days merely to reach Mexico City. I long for this adventure though. In only a few hours Debbi, Aaron, and I will meet brothers and sisters in Christ we’ve never before known. We’ll talk with our good friend, Bethany, and hear many stories of our dear Savior’s work in her life.
How do life changing adventures like this trip occur?
Its simple really.
God.
His goodness, grace, and providence allow us to step out of the normal and into a glorious adventure of change, travel, and the unknown.
