In one of my recent posts I wrote about how men are looking for adventure in their lives. Recently, I have not felt that adventuresome but had not really pursued anything exciting. A couple weeks ago I was speaking with my friend Darren and he mentioned his church was taking a trip down to the gulf coast to help the hurricane victims. He asked if I was interested because they had one spot open on the bus. Seeing this as my opportunity to pursue adventure I said yes before knowing any of the details. I am still not clear what our team will be doing exactly but I am leaving this afternoon for Lake Charles, La.
I am excited about being able to help the people in the region who have been devastated by the hurricanes and also nervous because I am not sure what I can do to help. But it is this nervousness that tells me I am doing the right thing. Depending on God instead of my own abilities or plans is what makes this trip so adventuresome. I am not taking my laptop with me but I will post an update on the trip when I get back next week.

Yay! Good for you... that sounds like the kind of adventure you've been hoping for. Lately, I've heard two messages repeated... God gives us big dreams for a reason and we should be obedient and not give up hope... on the flip side, what you do in your every day life is making a difference in someone's world whether it feels like it or not. A good balance book to Wild at Heart might be Heaven is a Place on Earth by Wittmer. May God bless your heart during this opportunity to reach out and at the same time be spoken to. So happy for you.
