This year is the
year for adventure. Initially I thought that in order to have adventure I had
to uproot my life and move to three different countries in three years. Clearly
the Creator of me thought differently and shut that door very firmly.
Now this year's plan
is out the window. Or at least, my 'this year's plan' is out the window leaving
a vast open space for new plans - 'my plans' is what I would like to say but
somehow I don't think my life is up to me but rather to the King of the Universe!
With that weight lifted off my shoulders, I'm opening myself up to new
possibilities, new plans, new adventures.
My resolution for
this year is a simple one: To have more adventures. Although I'm free as a
bird, I'm all grown up now but I don't want to lose my adventurous spirit. I
want to go skinny dipping in the icy sea at the dead of night. I want to jump
in my car and drive for hours without a destination in mind. I want to go
stomping at trance parties in the middle of a forest. I want to spend weekends
of deep conversation and faith-building with friends. I want to go camping and
have silence singing me to sleep.
That brings me to
'Jemima says'. Part of my adventuring begins right here in front of this
screen. I have always loved writing, and I absolutely adore sharing things over
the interweb that make me smile, think, have a little tear… generally just feel
something at all. To my friends and family, I send out emails on frequent but
sporadic basis that contain anything from a gorgeous photograph to a crazy
video. One of these friends suggested instead of sending them in an email, why
not start a blog. So this is my big adventure into blogging.
I want to write . I
want to share funny videos that make me laugh out loud and hope others do to. I
want to share things that inspire me, grow me, change me, mould me, and make me
wake up.
So to my resolution
I pledge this blog and as Dad would say… Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Comments and thoughts are welcome of course!
