A Real Adventure

In going over the past year in my mind with Papa, I remember the wild adventure it has been. Real adventure is full of dips and turns, loss and struggle, as well as the joy and delight of discovery. In addition to serving the least in 3 continents, I also counted the cost of leaving family, friends, home, for the unknown. 

At times my heart's capacity has been stretched by loss, and at others, by the fullness that comes when you've sold all to gain the pearl of great price. 

My prayer this year is that even what I have counted as loss would continue to fade in view of the sheer richness of His person; that I would be utterly consumed by the One in whom I gain everything. This is a love that knows no bounds, and I want to drip with it.
