To be... adventurous

              

                 I know that sometimes I wish life was more adventurous. Its true, wouldn't life be much more exciting with more adventure along the way? Adventure is what is the heart of all life. The greatest adventure there is to live begins with simple acceptance. Accepting Christ. Many put this down, they say that those who accept Christ live a "boring" or "protected" life, but in all actuality Christianity is what true adventure is all about. 

                 Is rebellion adventure? I do believe so, that's what gets our hearts racing and our blood pumping. Christianity is not a religion (yes, its a relationship...) but more than that, it is a rebellion against the world and its standards. Anyone can trash a hotel room and get drunk, but Christianity, now that's true rebellion. And thus, it is adventure. It makes your heart race sometimes. It is the most exciting journey you could ever take. Because God is always faithful, but excitingly unpredictable at times.

To be... romanced.

                    We not only long to be lovely, but we also long to romanced. We long to be cared for even to our core. To be loved and romanced for who we truly are at heart. We want someone to come along and sweep us off our feet. To take us up in a hot air balloon or simply to a day at the zoo. We want another to care for us in a deep way. But what we should also never forget is the greatest form of love shown to us. By the Creator of the universe. He reached out to us and showed us unfathomable love. He has romanced us. And he will never let us down. He is the true romancer.

To be... lovely.

               

                We all long to be viewed as...lovely, to be beautiful. Isn't that the desire of a woman? And what we absolutely hate is indifference or apathy. We long to be desired and noticed. We dream of things like descending a spiral staircase in a long flowing dress, and then stunning a crowd below. However, we don't only want others to see an outward beauty, but we also want them to view us because we are beautiful at heart. To have a heart that radiates loveliness and beauty onto those around us. That, is to be...lovely.
