"Misery Can Be Adventure" or "Take Heart"

Last week we decided to go to a movie at the Drive-In Theater. We figured that there would be no better way to watch a drive in movie than in the Jeep. We had the top down, the doors off and headed out. As we were driving, we looked up and saw the dark, looming clouds hovering over us promising rain at the next possible moment. We explained to the girls that we may get rained on and it would be cold and maybe a little miserable but on this adventure the end would be worth it. Kisha, then, looked up at us with a big grin on her face and said, "Well, misery can be adventure too."

How right she is!!!!! It is during the dark looming clouds which hover over our loves that we forget to see the adventure in it. Adventure is all about the uncertainty and unsteadiness of the trip. What better trip is there than life itself? One of the only real promises we can be sure of in this life is that there would be suffering in this world. But Jesus tells us to take heart, be courageous, don't worry because He will give us peace and the knowledge that He has already overcome the world.

So, go driving in the rain with the top down and enjoy the adventure!!!!
