I used to think that being adventurous meant that I had to be willing to go white water rafting or jump from an airplane. Those things are very adventuresome, but sometimes the greatest adventures come from within our hearts.  Stepping up and doing things that we did not imagine that we could do.  Using our voices and our minds for something greater than ourselves.  I have often placed other people’s ideas and objective ahead of my own.  Thinking that because they are clear and direct that they must know better what is good for all.  Perhaps that is true, but just because someone else’s voice is strong doesn’t mean that mine cannot be just as strong.  I am not talking about fighting, I am talking about speaking up for oneself.  At some point in my life, I found it easier to be quiet and go along with whatever someone else said than to speak up and say what was true for me.  I lost my voice.  But God did not put me on this planet to play out someone else’s life.  While it may not seem like it from what I say here, speaking my truth continues to be a place to demonstrate courage in my life.  It is an adventurous ride to speak up.  The beauty of it is that I can see it as an adventure instead of something to fear.  First, I must speak the truth to myself.  Then I can decide if it is something to be said or just to live.  It seems easier to just go along with whomever has the loudest and strongest voice, but we are not drones.  We each have a unique expression and way of showing God to the world.  Somehow I don’t think that God would want us to hide who we truly are.  My prayer for you today is that you speak your truth from within your heart.  Sing it to your God and ask to find a place to share it with others.  Who knows, maybe your adventure is music to someone else’s ears.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
