It is astounding to think about the plans that God has for each . As I was growing up, I saw ‘living God’s plan’ as just doing ‘what sounds good enough.’ But that is the beauty of God’s grace. we have been given salvation by his mercy; there is no need to earn it, so now the possibilities are endless. God has allowed us the opportunity to join in on his adventure. Some calls to adventure are more subtle than others.
Mine was a simple move to a new town. This past summer I went on a Mission trip with my church. At the start of the week I didn't really know what to expect other than work. Get up at 7 eat breakfast, work until three and hit the showers and be back by 4-4:30. What I didn't know at the time was that this was Gods way of pointing me in the right direction. That week of mission changed my life. It helped me to realize that Mission work is something that I have a love for. And something that I want to continue to do into my adult life. During this week I met some amazing people who's love for God shined through in everything they did. I saw this in the people I helped, but also in the people I worked with.
Maybe mission work isn't your adventure,
But let me tell you this, when your adventure comes- grab it.
