I always thought that adventures seemed very easy for most characters. In many stories, the main character is swept up in chain of events which he/she has no control over and little choice of action except to choose either option A or B.
What is difficult is pushing oneself into the unknown without any catastrophic life altering events to help you do it.
But then drastic times call for drastic measures.
Sometimes the drastic times are upon us but we can't see how drastic they are. We are lulled into a false sense of security, a slow starvation of the soul. With no changes or adventures to push and pull us, to help us grow we become stagnant and stale and slowly lose that joy that God is continually calling us towards.
We are each of us on a quest.
A quest to find why God made us who we are, and what He wants us to do.
A quest to become more like Jesus every day.
To lose ourselves more and more everyday by laying down our will at his feet and following him.
And in doing so, finding more and more of the pieces of ourselves that God truly created us to be.
Who am I?
That is our quest.
