Adventures and Defining Moments!

The last few days I have been thinking...too much! The majority of things going through my head are not too important, such as, don't forget the camp chair and be sure to pack deodorant! However, some other thoughts go a little deeper. I think one reason I wanted to go on this trip was because I long, crave, deeply desire adventure! Not just any Tom Sawyer adventure, but the kind that I'll remember for years to come as a life-changing adventure. One with a defining moment. One that involves a deeper faith and a wow-only-the-Lord could do that experience. Abraham had a defining moment adventure when he was asked to sacrifice his only son on the altar and obeyed. He got to see God provide in a powerful way and was changed through it. Peter experienced that moment after he had denied his Lord three times and then ate with Him after the resurrection. Paul had his moment when Jesus met him on the road to Damascus. So I ask, where is my moment? Have I ever come to the point of complete and total trust and dependence on Christ? Have I ever been part of a great adventure that pointed me face-to-face with the Lord Himself? You can count on the fact that I will be looking for that moment and adventure on the road. Will it be in Tennessee? New York? Or Maine? Only He knows!!! But what I know is wherever it is and whatever it looks like, my life will be defined very differently!
