The Adventure to Discover the Adventure

Oh Friends, how I wish this was not the title of this blog. I wish we didn’t have to go on a journey, an adventure, to find the map that will show us the road to take for our life adventure. But as I’m about to start a new chapter in my life--the titled would be: “The Journey to Find the Map”. I believe with all my heart that God holds the pen of my life story. That He is scripting out the most beautiful, crazy, captivating, thrilling, story with twist and turns that will keep, not only myself on my toes, but anyone else who decides to watch my story play out.

I'm not sharing the remarkable details of all that has happened this week yet. When the time is right I will open up those few pages of that chapter of my life…but it might not be for a long…long…time. God is preparing me for something big. I can feel it. The wonderful supporting characters in my life story sense it also. What that is, I do not know. But, God Almighty knows. I must trust that my Good Shepherd will lead me on the right path.

Speaking of the wonderful supporting characters in my life story, they deserve a public thank you. God has blessed me with arguably the best supporting characters I could ever ask for. They pray their guts out for me, and desperately want me to discover God’s highest and greatest adventure for my life. We get to be prayer warriors for each others lives. We all have the same purpose in life: to advance the Kingdom of our Lord. The coolest part is seeing God reveal everyone’s calling to how they will live out that purpose! So my dear friends, sisters and brothers in Christ, and my family—thank you! I truly thank God for each and every one of you every day and know that I am also praying “my guts out” for you too!

“This path we are walking can be very lonely. Thankfully, Jesus provides fellowship through relationship to other brothers and sisters in Christ. He invites us to engage one another, to share with others what He is doing in our lives so that we can be a source of encouragement to each other. Encourage and challenge your brothers and sisters in Christ as you seek to live radically.”

My desires and dreams for life are still alive and hidden away deep within my heart. But they will bow down before God’s Will. They may be fulfilled today, next year, or they may not happen at all. God’s peace beyond understanding has been illuminating a truth to me: that my true passion is to advance God’s Kingdom on earth. When that is our passion, we will not be let down if our dreams and desires do not happen. We can rest in the fact that God works ALL THINGS for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28) and however God writes my life story will be so, so, so much better than any dream or desire I could ever have. I can say with confidence that God will not give me what I expect – He will give me far more. He will bless me above and beyond what my little human mind could ever imagine! (1 Corinthians 2:9). Whether my dreams and desires happen or not, the spiritual warfare goes on. My life’s sole purpose is to be a princess warrior for the Kingdom of my Most High King.

“You have but one lifetime to spend in our Lord’s service. How you spend these years of your life will touch the course of history and change it forever?”
My prayer is that I can be consumed with my forever love: Jesus. That I can be perfectly enchanted and content in wherever and whatever He has for me!

“No matter where our lives lead, we are always first and foremost, daughters (or sons) of the Lord, disciples of the Word, surrendered to the King of kings for His Kingdom work and for His glory”

I will be real with you all. It is scary to not know my future. It literally terrifies me to tears some nights. That breaks my heart because God is not a God of fear, which means I’m not trusting God to care and lead me. To provide me all the resources of Heaven to get me through the fire ahead and come out unburned. Especially, for a planner like myself. When life gets crazy and seemingly confusing, I just need to remember that I am in the hands of God.

I will be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don’t fall into a ditch. These are the things I’ll be doing for them—sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute ~Isaiah 42 (MSG)

The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for HIS name sake. ~Psalm 23:1-3

We do not need to worry about what roads to take, fearing sinking, or failing into a ditch. God promises to lead and guide us! HE WILL NOT LET YOU FALL!! And best of all He will never leave your side. The God of the Universe promises all that to us. What an amazing God we serve! He will work everything out. I just need to keep in prayer and continue to have my heart in a place of surrender and willingness to go wherever the Lord may lead me.

“God never asks us to do something that He doesn’t give us the strength to accomplish. And whatever He is asking of you, it is only because He wants the very best for you. You are His princess (or knight), and He is jealously guarding your life. It may seem like a sacrifice to obey Him, and you may not understand all the reasons why. But in the end, it will be the greatest blessing."

Good luck and blessings as you embark on the journey to discover your adventure in life. I know it will be a crucial chapter in your life story.
