I remember a song by Steven Curtis Chapman called The Great Adventure. It was all about how the life of faith is the greatest of adventures and how following Jesus will often lead us into the unknown. I agree.

Life itself is a grand adventure if you know where to look and what to look for. You have to choose to look for the best and seek joy in everything. That’s when you see God’s hand in everything.

I still think that the only expectations that won’t be ultimately disappointed (whether in things or people) are the ones where we expect God will show up and do something amazing.

Even the best of us break our promises and will let other people down. We’re only human, and fallen humans at that.

I can speak from experience that God is the only one who has never let me down. And maybe Lucy my cat. Of course, I set the bar low for her.

I know I have failed at least once in all my relationships, especially in my relationship with God. But God has never and will never fail me.

Like my friend always says, I’m living the dream. Even if that dream doesn’t always look like I want it to. Or even if that dream feels like an episode of Twin Peaks.

Life is still good, God is still great, and I am still blessed.
