 "One of the wonders I witness in the work of God’s Holy Spirit, is the call to adventure that is awakened in those where He is moving. 

I see and hear it in word and song. Every note, lyric and verse is a key unlocking a door to some new possibility. 

Every prayer, touch and tear an opening to becoming someone we’ve never fully knew we were meant to be, or doing something we didn’t imagine we would do. 

It’s a daring act to open any door, talk or listen to a stranger or sing a song that calls upon the Divine. 

Adventures unfold in unexpected places, moments and faces. In the realm of God a mere confession, plea, loving intercession, an embrace or holding the hand of one trembling in the awakening of spiritual Light and Life, is a step into the wild and unknown journey God is calling us to begin. 

These adventures can unravel our seemingly neat and tidy lives or bound and broken souls. Whatever our habitations may be, we all can discover we’ve become too comfortable and are in danger of attracting wandering wizards with unexpected invitations. 

“Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” (John 4:10)

“If you only knew…”

What a line. 

One sip of living water and everything is about to change. 

It’s a dangerous thing stepping outside the door of your normal routine. God is on the move and he’s searching for someone whose “apparently settled down immovably” but is actually a perfect choice for an unexpected journey. 

You’ve been warned."
