adventure

my darling sister gave me an adventure box before she left for mexico for the year filled with good literature, a coin jar, a journal, gum, and maps of places around indiana to explore (doughnut shops, flea markets......all of the treasured gems the midwest offers to delight in).

i have been thinking lately about adventure and the importance of creating adventure and actively seeking connections, looking for beauty in the small places the midwest offers. i don't want to spend hours completing meaningless tasks that don't matter in the long run, or focusing only on creating a stellar resume, only to realize one day i had a good resume but i never lived life or sought the heart of God. it is a delicate balance between worshiping God through work and worshiping God through experiencing adventures and forming relationships with his children. i want to pursue this in a way that is wise and lovely, bringing delight to God through the way i live my life.

i want to work hard, but at the end of the day come home to my family and friends and rest in God's creation, enjoying what he has blessed me with. i want my life to be God focused--knowing and pursuing him, living in His creation, working for his glory, and trusting in his powerful strength with my whole heart.

darlings, let's seek adventure and find God in the simplicity of change jars, flea markets, and the beautiful people God has placed in our lives.
