“God has written the Romance not only on our hearts but all over the world around us. What we need is for him to open our eyes, to open our ears that we might recognize his voice calling to us, see his hand wooing us in the beauty that quickens our hearts.” –
Captivating, by John and Stasi Eldridge
God knows my heart and he knows your heart. He is a very personal God who delights in awakening our hearts longings, desires and dreams.
I just returned from a 9 day roadtrip with my parents: Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado… 8 states in 9 days. Kind of sounds like a “kiss” of what’s to come next year on the World Race – otherwise known as
“The Great adventure of the Heart”!
My heart is captured by the wild, untamed beauty of the Southwest. There is something about it that beckons to my heart to come and play – to live out the adventure that God has designed just for me. What awakens your heart? What causes it to “dance and sing”?
I think this quote captures the essence of Beauty – whether it is found in nature, self, others, truth, love, etc.: “Beauty overwhelms us, enchants us, fascinates us, and calls us. – Fr. Andrew Greeley
