adventure awaits

"Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all"  - said some guy (can't remember his name) in a movie called 180 degrees south who probably quoted it from some one else more famous.

Last summer I got into an adventure documentary faze on Netflix. I literally watched every movie that had a mountain or some other breath-taking land scape on the cover. Most of them captured over dramatic stories about climber's near-death experiences or almost fatal survival stories. One of these explorations, a team of granola dudes set off towards Patagonia National Park, a trip they had been dreaming about for years. They did months of preparation but nothing could've prepared them for the unexpected twists and turns they would run into. This is when one of them said the quote above...and it really caught my attention.

I'm currently on the road to Camp Eagle to spend nine months with people I haven't met yet, doing jobs I don't know much about and to travel places I've never been. So exciting and scary at the same time. But I think that's the coolest part. The unknown. And the fact that God knows what is in front of me. All I have to do is have a little faith and keep going. Welcome the unknown like a new friend. This is the next chapter of life....this is the start of something great.
