Saddle up your horses, we’ve got a trail to blaze<\/em><\/p>

Through the wild blue yonder of God’s amazing grace<\/em><\/p>

Let’s follow our Leader into the glorious unknown<\/em><\/p>

This is a life like no other\u2026this is the great adventure<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I remember listening to those words back in the 1990s. They’re from the song The Great Adventure<\/em> by Steven Curtis Chapman. As a fairly new single parent at the time, I wouldn’t have used the word “adventure” to describe my life. Spending too much time working and not enough time at my kids’ baseball games, the days\u2014and years\u2014went by in a blur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, there were things to be thankful for. My kids were awesome. I had a good church family and some really good friends, and my mom and dad were never more than a phone call away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in my heart, I knew there was more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True, my church was great. We believed in the gifts of the Spirit and in the power of God. But as I sat there one day, I couldn’t help thinking, Is this really all there is to this Christian life? Where are the signs, wonders, and miracles that I read about all through the Bible? If God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, why are we not doing what those New Testament believers did?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you had asked me at that time, I would have told you that I was a disciple of Jesus Christ. But back in Jesus’ day, it was understood that disciples were supposed to be able to do what their rabbi did. So, if I was truly a disciple, why was my life void of the obvious supernatural life of the God who lived inside me? Why was my life so…natural?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that moment, I began a quest\u2014which is still ongoing\u2014prompted by a holy dissatisfaction with the status quo. To date, my quest has involved two relocations to different areas of the country, new church families, a career change, and three years at Charis Bible College. I’m following my Leader into the great unknown. I may not know where I’m going, but I know He does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am reminded of something one of the instructors is fond of saying: “There’s something about life that’s so daily<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If “daily” describes your life and you’re looking for an adventure in God, break away from the familiar and head to the Summer Family Bible Conference<\/a><\/em> in Woodland Park, Colorado, from July 3-7. The week will be chock-full of powerful praise and worship, teaching tailored to each member of your family, and plenty of time for you to explore The Sanctuary<\/em> campus and the picturesque Woodland Park area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line? I think Steven Curtis Chapman says it best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, come on, get ready for the ride of your life<\/em><\/p>

Gonna leave long-faced religion in a cloud of dust behind<\/em><\/p>

And discover all the new horizons waiting to be explored<\/em><\/p>
