Whenever I feel as though I have not been challenged in a while, I go out of my way to change this. I have done this before by skiing and snowshoeing in the Pyrenees Mountains a few years ago (I almost died, to be honest), and I did this the other day when I took a solo trip to a Tennessean state park where it was not the smartest move to go at it alone. But I needed to. Or wanted to. Or needed to. Or…this debate could go on indefinitely.
The point is-why do I do these things? Why do I seek after adventure? Why do I dream big and barely look back? Why do I take risks that have no guarantees? I really-truly-want to change the world. Yes, you read that correctly. I deeply desire to change the world. This sound s naïve, I know. Oh, I know. I have criticized myself over this dream for over a decade now. I was 11 years of age when it crept into my mind and while it has faded at times, this dream, will not go away.
Exactly what I am supposed to do, I do not know. Which is okay by me. I am trusting God with this dream and the challenges that it has, does, and will have in my life.
