Road Trips and Dreaming
Today I've thought a lot about dreams. What are my dreams and what would it look like to have them fulfilled. I have a friend that tends to dream big and dreams of things I usually blow off and deem impossible. I asked him about his summer plans and he said he wanted to travel, travel far. I asked where and how. We talked of traveling to Spain, Greece, Germany, Israel, and all over anywhere else. As awesome as it all sounds I shot it down because we wouldn't have any way of knowing where to go or how to travel or where to sleep. He has that sense of adventure that I don't. I want to know where we are going and how we are going to get back and know all the details. We decided to consider a trip in the states because that is a bit far fetched but even then my mind is shooting down the idea of something extreme like a big road trip. I'm trying to figure out how that could even be possible and doubting that it could work. I know it would be a blast and I want to try things like this before I don't have that opportunity again. What would it look like to drive off somewhere with a goal in mind but not really sure what everything else looks like? What would it look like to trust God enough to know that everything would be alright and I don't always have to know what is going to happen? I want to be a person that gets to do all sorts of things in life because I don't fear the unkown. I think life could be one big crazy adventure if I didn't always hang onto the comfortable and leaned on God to see where I was gonna end up. That would be an awesome way to live life.

Taylor...I am wondering when your sense of adventure was lost? When did everything have to become so safe and predictable?
Somewhere along the way you learned that everything might not be alright.
I love that you are wondering about what it would look like for you to risk again.
