Compared to extreme adventurers I live a boring and complacent life. Don’t get me wrong, I love nature and have done enough camping trips where roughing it meant breaking up and setting up your own camp daily and going without a shower for days on end to earn some street cred.  But this gal much prefers a nice hotel with soft towels to spending the night with creepy crawly bugs.  The frame of my life as compared to a seasoned outdoor adventurer is less extreme depending on one’s definition of extreme.  The real question is what do I do when I reach the edges in my life?  I am not talking about literal cliffs, but the edges I reach when I find myself saying: “I don’t know how to handle this,” or “This could be uncomfortable” or “I am afraid . . . ”  All of us have the edges we reach in our lives. The question is do we keep inside them or do we rub up against them?  Do we listen when our minds tell us not to go near there or do we take the adventure our heart’s tell us too when we can feel the fear beating against it louder and louder?  It is not the content, it is the experience.  We all know our edges and when we are being in the truth of who we are we are a bit more willing to dance up close.  Having faith in the power of love means we know within ourselves no matter what happens or does not happen, nothing can truly be undone.  God is more powerful than any fear of a person, situation, physical experience, idea or belief.  With all that has come and gone throughout the history of time, love still stands.  Our hearts call us not to recklessly mock our edges but take a closer look, do a little dance, find a laugh, and see what we are made of.  Our edges show up to remind us we were designed to create our experience and it may mean redrawing the lines of our lives.
