This is a word I came up with to describe my new adventures that go beyond normal. For me normal’s staying on home land visiting family, friends, and close to home travels. Godventures go beyond that…something that’s beyond my comfort zone, obtainable, needs more faith and courage to walk. It’s like stepping out on the water and making my legs move…..voluntarily. Trust me I’ve struggled with this Greece Godventure….mainly because of $$$$. And then there’s the traveling to new places by myself…when I’m driving it’s one thing…I’m more in control. This trip involves a lot of flying making connections so I don’t miss an important flight….depending on other people to get me there…yep…this is big for me. I have never thought myself to be an adventurer by nature. But I know there are times stepping outside my own nature habits is what I need to do…to stretch my faith and my trust in who God is in me. Some run marathons (which gets major kudos from me), some do extreme, daring climbing (anything they can crawl up or down), some take on new hobbies. These Godventures are what make me stronger inward and outward…..so I can look upward and thank my Jesus for His strength, courage, and I think sometimes laughter when He looks at me and says “Oh my daughter, again”…. 🙂

When you’re home from Greece, you are going to look back on your adventure and wonder why you were ever nervous or frightened. Donald and I had a grand European adventure in 2001 (which I entirely planned) and I remember be frightened of the language barrier, the food, making all our train connections, you name it! It all worked out though, even when things went wrong.
You are going to have a wonderful time. Anything that deviates from planned or normal will be a compelling story or personal triumph.
Godspeed on your Godventures!
