Really touching story! This resonated with me a lot actually. Not necessarily in the sense of traveling, but in the sense of pursuing the whisper in my soul that's always been there, but that I fought against because of the world's expectations. I still don't know how it'll come to be, but it's a step of faith, hanging onto nothing but the God-given desire buried deep within me.

This was so encouraging! Sometimes, we have expectations of ourselves that can hold us back, and I love when God reaches in and shows us just a glimpse of what He wants to do with us that's so wildly different than anything we could imagine. He knows what's best, even if we don't believe Him at first! I'm excited to see how God uses you, Merissa!

Oh I just love this post. ❤ Like... even though I've been the more "adventurous type" at heart...i still get nervous to break free from the insecurities and fears of the unknown and NEW.

I loved your short story. So beautifully put to words about breaking free from it all Just to step out and radically follow Him and the call. 💕 after all, it is quite the adventure 😉
