Are there areas in your life where you are being called to new life?
Recently I have felt this strong urge to mountain climbing. I used to do a lot of hiking, camping, and climbing as a teenager becasue of my involvement in the Boy Scouts. It was within this context that I learned about leadership, survival, and environmental stewardship. As I was spending time with my friends yesterday we were recalling our trip to Mount Katahdin and as we walked down memory lane it continued to stir up that desire to get back out into the woods. I think it is in this area of being out in nature with friends that needs new life. It is too easy to get caught up in other areas of life so that I neglect some of the dormant passions that are a part of me. I want to be more intentional about pursuing those passions.
Lord, help me to remember the joy I derive out of being in the woods, enjoying your marvelous creation with those I love, remind me that life is bigger than the concerns of today and that by letting go I am opening myself up to something bigger. Amen.
