Roadtripping Madness...Day 3

So yeah, I may have skipped a few days (and started on day 3) but this is where I started writing anything remotely interesting or bloggable!

To put it into context for you...Me and my friend Emily went on a roadtrip lasting 10 days (the last 10 days just gone) around Wales and England...from S. Wales - N. Wales - Lake District - Bath (and other places). So Day 3, Llyn Gwynant, Wales...

There's something about the places I've seen so far in Wales that leave me breathless, awestruck and inspire me to think about God and do more for him. It's easy to see and understand why people get so inspired after seeing such beautiful places, yet it is equally baffling as to how people can't and don't see God behind such astounding creativity.

Whilst walking in the Welsh countryside, up mountains, through trees, jumping, climbing and walking, my adventurous side came out and I wanted to walk to the top of every peak, climb every cliff face and stand at the top of each and look down at what God has created. When standing on the top of the Sugar Loaf Mountain (I'm classing it as a mountain) I was taken a back by its beauty. Emotion and the presence of God hit me, so much so that I just had to walk and praise him.

It inspired that adventurous spark in me, that seems invisible at all other times. It sparks that bit of adventure that has remained suppressed in my urban lifestyle. No part of my hometown leaves me wanting to explore more, find more-I've seen it all and know it all by heart. I've regressed back to being childish here, having little or no fear for what might happen if I fall or if I'm stung because I just want to explore more and more of God's creation. I suddenly envy Pocahontas!

It's funny how such a little thing such as green, lush valleys can ignite something new in me, give me back that old sense of adventure that I can't wait to go somewhere else and do something new. Travelling is on my heart and once again I'm reminded how much I love God's creation.

It's so easy to be complacent in our comfort zones, whether it be spiritually or just to sit back and relax too much. We need to wake up and be on our toes, complacency just leads to stagnation and no-one likes to be stagnant!
