Walking into the depths of a Mayan Underworld Cave reminded me darkly of what it felt like looking inward into the own caves of my heart. Walking into the cave there was no light. I didn’t know what was around the next turn or bend and I was terrified. Looking inward into my heart can prompt the same emotions because sometimes even I don’t know what is hidden in there. My wounds have been pushed so far into the depths there is no light. Going on the race is so similar to walking though that cave with our head lamp. Adventure In Missions gives us the gear to walk strong through the pain of our past and shed light on all of the dark areas.
Reaching the end of the cave with my team was an accomplishment. I was still scared to leave though, because as a child I have always had a fear of turning the basement lights off and running up the stairs. I always feared there was dark things behind me. Standing at the end of the cave being the first to walk in, I knew that I would be the farthest back and last to leave the cave. However, once I shed the light on all of the areas of the cave, leaving that darkness behind me wasn’t so scary anymore. To my surprise, it was freeing.
Still Need FUNDING!!!!
