Big question?

I saw this little dish at a novelty store in town and, although I couldn’t spend the novelty price for it, I liked the saying so I snapped a photo. I ran across this quote today and I thought it was odd. I’d love to “say a hearty yes to (my) adventure.” It is a big question these days, isn’t it?

It feels like we start every conversation with “When the quarantine is lifted …” or “When things go back to normal …” or “When this is over …” However, I want to be living my life now too. I used to say that I’d write more if I had more time. Now, although I work from home for my nonprofit during work hours, I do have more time before and after work, yet I haven’t been motivated to write more.

I received this blog entitled “When Faith Becomes Trust” and I almost passed it by but the title grabbed me. During this time of fear and sadness, am I living out my faith in Christ, especially in this Easter season? Probably not. Easter is a celebration of our faith – faith that Christ died for us and that he rose again, in fulfillment of the Gospel promise. Faith doesn’t really matter if I don’t live it out in trust. It’s like saying that I trust in a chair to support me but I’m not willing to sit in it. Easter is where the rubber meets the road (not very poetic, I know).

So, I want my faith to become trust and “say a hearty yes to my adventure.” Live through this time by supporting others as best I can, knowing they are fearful too. And, write more because that gives me joy (and hopefully perhaps another person or two?) Let’s be ingenious in how we care for others. Perhaps that’s the adventure?
