As I was journaling this morning, I reflected on all the change that has happened in my life over the past three years in Indiana, as well as how much change awaits me in the next three weeks. I'll be getting married in a few short days; going on my honeymoon; then returning and moving to St. Louis, changing jobs, and trying to find all new community. At times it feels daunting and stressful, producing anxiety and fear in my heart.
This morning however I was struck with a different thought. The changes that await me are part of a new adventure. Every good adventure is fraught with risk, danger and uncertainty. It would be quite a boring adventure if there was never an anxious moment or an uncertain resolution. The beauty of this adventure, though, is that all the risk, danger and uncertainty exist in the midst of journey that is simultaneously essential, joyful and rewarding. It is the adventure that has God has laid before Christy and I. And as sure as it is God's adventure for us, it is a holy adventure.
In this holy adventure I have the greatest of companions--my God and my bride. I have the greatest of promises--the faithfulness of both my companions. And though this journey will be filled with danger, pain and suffering there also the greatest of assurance--this is a holy adventure that will end with a happily ever after.
