Adventure Defined

So, I decided to start writing about my journey before I have even reached the lands of Ireland. I have to be honest, it's been a bit stressful for me. Here I am with this huge desire to travel and go places and barely have any money to even travel 2 hours away in the local city. I've have been frustrated, trying to figure this out about how the money is going to come, figure out how I am going to pay for things and figure all what to do.  I have exhausted myself worrying about the steps instead of enjoying the simplicity of the present moments and just become excited about the unknown. I guess this is what you call true adventure...its embracing the unknown of life, circumstance, and situations and go with the flow and not try to fight against them. The more you fight against what is...its like going up against treacherous waves in the opposite direction.

I have so much to learn. It's not about finally getting to Ireland and say all is well. It's enjoying the peace and joys with all the places along the way. God is with me and for me and have prepared a way and I have to be at rest in knowing He got it.  I am realizing me trying to help or make things happen just complicate things even more... and stress me out in the process. Discovering how to let go of control realizing I don't have any and truly loving the rest in absolute trust in His all encompassing abilities and boasting in my sweet vulnerabilities of knowing nothing at all.
