I feel a sense of security in where I am right now because I know that these past five years have been the fulfillment of what my purpose is during this chapter in my life. At the same time, my sense of security can waver depending on what each day brings and the obstacles that arise. Being a caregiver to my mom can present many challenges, twists and turns, and uncertainty. Although this causes fear, anxiety, doubt, etc., my faith is what provides me with the sense of security that I’m not alone. No matter what comes my way, I put my trust in God that He is seeing me through to the other side of whatever mountain stands before me.
Ever since I was younger, I have always wanted to travel and see the world. When I was a teenager, I went on Missions trips with my Church youth group to Mexico. A few years later, I went on a road trip with a friend from Texas, Michigan, and the Upper Peninsula, Windsor Canada, then on our way back to Texas we stopped in Memphis TN. Not too many other events stood out after that until I made the decision to move to Breckenridge Colorado after only visiting there once before only a few months prior. This was one of the most adventurous things I had ever done in my life.
When I was younger, my definition of adventure was being able to travel to faraway places that I have never seen but only dreamed of. A place to escape to where I would not have a care in the world and no rush to hurry back home. In my own little world, I’ve had my own versions of adventure which have not required me to travel very far. I finally got a passport about 6 years ago and not for any reason only to have it because I have not given up on my dream to travel. I know the day will come when I will have the opportunity to use my passport and I wait in anticipation of what that is going to feel like.
