I didn't plan any adventures in May. The point of this whole thing isn't to be bogged down and feel like I "have to" do anything, and when it felt like a burden to plan something, I just decided to live life for a month without planning anything too crazy.
However, I still did some pretty awesome things that I think will qualify adventures.
1. I lifted weights (heavy weights a bunch of times) with my friend, Alisa. She has even inspired me to continue to life weights. I don't understand either...
2. I finished up a Lindy Hop class. So yeah...that was a long set of classes. :)
3. I did a lecture-style teaching from the Bible....without a manuscript. Tell me I'm crazy, because I feel crazy.
4. I bought tires for my car. Oh yeah....and I'm purchasing a car...aka: put down a payment and am now working toward paying it off. I'm an adult.
5. I went on a "blind date", if you can call it that. In other words, I met a person someone else told me I might get along with at a coffee shop. That's crazy talk, I tell you. I don't do those things.
6. I hosted a Jr High girls' night at my house and we camped on the living room floor.
So I'd say it was a busy month and a month of great adventures.
Something that I've been observing about my year of adventures is that I'm becoming far more comfortable and confident in unfamiliar situations. It's pretty awesome how your perspective changes when you put yourself out there in ways that are "scary" or unfamiliar. You start to see that the world really isn't as anxiety-inducing as you once thought and you start to see that you are a lot stronger and more resilient that you could have imagined. Or at least that's been my experience, maybe not yours. I still challenge you to go on some adventures. Let yourself be out of your comfort zone and let God change your heart and your perspective about the world and yourself.
"Peace and blessings."
In case you don't get that reference....
