Ever feel like you’re on a journey? Like the ADVENTURE of a LIFETIME?
In the last year, I have felt like my world has crumbled around me. I have also felt like I’ve been on a journey. I think of the verse Isaiah 54:10 ‘“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the Lord, who has compassion on you.”
Sometimes the journey feels so uncertain and the future and where I’m going so unknown. But the beauty in the journey, where I find my peace and joy, is that my journey is not out of control. It may be out of MY control. But the winds that seem to blow me in which ever direction they please are actually controlled by the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.
So here I am, launching off the safety of the solid ground known as my comfort zone. I hop into the basket, full of confidence that God is Love and God is Good. He pours His love into me, as I get ready to pour it into my child on the other side of the world. Up, up, and away we go together. I pull on the burner and we fly higher. Leaving behind the rubble that I thought was my solid ground. So much more secure now in obedience to God. The views are breath-taking. The adventure is crazy. The journey is terrifying and peace-filled simultaneously. I don’t know how long this journey is going to last. At what point we will arrive. But what I know is that this adventure isn’t all about the landing - in my case, landing in China to get my daughter Jemma - it is just as much about getting there as it is arriving.
