Adventure... synonomous with life, right? Life is to be an adventure... the great adventure. My life certainly has. Especially the last couple of days. I have loved the ocean since the first time I layed eyes on it. Also since the first time I "layed ears on it". I could listen to that sound for hours. Something about it is so captivating for this land locked girl. So I have been indulged for nearly two whole days :) Sunday was spent at El Pacifico with Richard, Jen, the kids, and Melissa Lonas, who just arrived for 15 months from North Carolina as part of the staff at Wired (the Ministry Center here in El Salvador). We had such a ball on the beach, as well as in the water park right there by the beach. I don't think I have played my heart out in a pool like that since I was probably eleven.
Yes, these are whole fish she was selling ( I didn't buy one... I know I know, my whole scoop on adventure??? :)
Today was spent with the team from Simpson University in CA, and part of the Wired Staff at El Tunco, a beach not far from El Pacifico. My days off this week are today and tomorrow so that I can go do stuff with them. (Thanks, Richard and Jen!!) It was such a blast, though my shoulders and legs are telling me it was more like a bake. The sun definitely did it's job on me :) Several tried surfing, others of us just walked on the shore and played in the water. I could not believe the size of some of those waves!! But I did eat some sort of clam that was still wiggling... still doesn't seem like me to do something like that. But hey it wasn't too bad!!! Then afterwards they told me that the reddish juice it was in was the blood. Yaeh. Lovely. Oh well, sticking to my whole adventure speel.
I have been having a blast, and been very refreshed meeting new people and making new friends.
So what is the adventure God has called you to today? It's so great that the greatest adventure of all is simply walking hand in hand with our Savior. No matter what He asks us to do, whether it seems exciting or not. Even it's waking up and doing the same thing we have done for 10, 20, 30 years. It can be a new adventure, because He makes everyday new to us. Life with Jesus is exciting!! Not because we feel good, or because we are doing what we want, but because HE is exciting!!! He is Adventure!! Being willing to take His hand and go on the adventure... whatever He may ask... is the beginning :) Love you all and thank you for your prayers and support. You are much appreciated.
