Spoken from the Heart: Embracing the Adventure

When you're faced with devastating news, is your first response, "Wow - what an exciting adventure!" When you find yourself in the midst of trials or a challenging season in your life, do you automatically think to respond with happiness or to consider the bad news a blessing?

When our family was presented with an impending job loss, my first reaction wasn't joy. It was fear of the unknown. However, God invited me on a journey with Him, a way to choose trust and faith in place of fear and worry.

I offer you the chance to come along, not because we're special but because we're ordinary. God used this "adventure" as a way for us
• to give Him the glory through the ways He prepared my heart ahead of time
• to remember His reassurance to me that "He had it covered" throughout the months we traveled
• to discover His many blessings both for us and others along the way
• to give encouragement to those struggling with their own hard situation

When we travel God's plan for our lives His way, while it can be scary at times, He invites us to embrace the adventure ahead while we wait to see what BEST He has for us!

One truth I love to repeat: What God's willing to do for me and my family, He's waiting to do and much more for you. I pray you'll be encouraged to ask God what His plan is for your life and then have the courage to embrace your adventure!
