Tis' The Season In Being Thankful... (part III)

It is said that the life is in the journey.  That there is life to be had here and now. The life to be had is in the good, the messy, the broken.. that the life is not when perfection comes. It's not having to be put together for the journey...the journey is for being put together. 

To begin the journey is in response to the One who invites us. The journey is an adventure.. the unknown..the only journey that is found full of LIFE!

So why I am so afraid to risk? I live for adventure...I have been given the gift of 2 boys! I LOVE adventure.. it's in my blood.. it makes me come alive..

I have been wrestling in the depths of my heart with why I have the tendency to hold back from fully engaging on this journey? Is it because I know that when taking the adventure, the journey, you are either all in or not. Ready to risk it all or to risk nothing. That it requires complete trust. Requires complete faith. That it WILL cost me something or possibly everything... Yet I do know, freedom comes when true life is experienced.

A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of. - John 10v10 (msg)

I pray we respond to the invitation in reckless abandonment day after day, may it be moment to moment....being put back together while on the journey, while experiencing this adventure. This journey is promised to be good and fulfilling.. praying we will know this full and well.

Thankful for the invitation. Thankful for LIFE in the journey, full of a deep love, a deep calling...full of hope.
  
The ONE who calls is faithful.
