Adventure.
It makes me think of a long trek in the wild, of rustling leaves and the rushing of a roaring river. Of bird calls echoing off of the cliffs, making eerie music as twilight falls. Adventure makes my mind go to the sweet fragrance of pines, and hair blowing and floating in the breeze. (Unless you're a guy, in which case I hope that adventure does not mean that your hair is floating in the breeze.) Adventure has a gallant hero and a gentle heroine, who don't turn back at adversary, but strive onward and conquer.
I think we tend to categorize adventures into something that is only in books or movies or trips to New Zealand. We tend to forget that we are in an adventure- that our life is an adventure. Having faith in God, trusting Him, is an adventure. Our trials and tribulations are adventures. May we be heroes and heroines that persevere through strife and conquer our sin. May we reach the end of our adventure with a race won, and an eternal dwelling in Heaven.
I like these pictures. Where did you take them?
