Scott and Julie’s big adventure

 Whenever my husband and I head out on a road trip, we get in the car and he says, “Scott and Julie’s big adventure!” And that’s exactly what it feels like. We have some fun things in mind for along the way to our destination. We don’t know what we’ll eat but we know we’ll find a place. We don’t know where we’ll sleep but we’re sure to find a nice hotel. Perhaps with a hot tub! And there’s all the beautiful scenery along the way. And pulling over to check out a scenic view. Or historic site. There’s laughing, talking, and enjoying each other’s company. Rocking to music from the radio. An “unplanned” stop for ice cream. A sunset with a different backdrop from the one at home. Yes, we have plans. We also end up with a few spontaneous pleasures.

And I have to wonder if that is what God has in mind when He says, “Take My hand. Trust Me. Follow Me. Enjoy Me. I have a plan but I also have some delightful surprises for you along the way.”

And what if God isn’t thinking just once or twice a year like our occasional road trips. What if God is inviting you to - “Let’s go now! Today!”

Your big adventure awaits…

… a sweet friendship refreshes the soul. (Proverbs 27:9)

… what blessings He must have for us now that we are His friends and He is living within us! (Romans 5:9 TLB)
