In the summer of 2005, I decided that for my further spiritual growth and for the benefit of my family, it was time to begin a new adventure.

Before I got too old or too timid to make such a daring move, I packed them all up and we moved to Tucson, Arizona. Like Abraham leaving all he had ever known, we made the move.

You see, I felt like I was getting to the place in my life where I had “Found God” and once you have that mindset, your journey is over, your done and that’s when decay begins.

What I mean by that is, those who have “Found God” have settled on all their answers, defined God on every angle and then taking a big sigh of relief. They sit around and talk about the things of God and the good old days when the Spirit of God was really moving.

It started to scare me. Did I know all there was to know about God? Have I seen my last adventure with God? Is the romance gone?

I started to ask questions which intrigued some and angered others. I just wanted to know what else there was to life.

Some told me to shut up and just stick to what I already knew. Others listened but had no real interest and some thankfully wanted to take the journey with me.

I really like the idea of finding God. Of course I know that HE is not lost, nor is HE hiding from me. It’s like a husband or wife taking the time to discover the heart of their spouse. The spouse is right there, but the real treasures of that person need to be searched out.

It chills me when I think back on the days when I thought I knew it all, had all the answers, but even worse, were the times when I was afraid to ask any new questions or question any old beliefs.

I read a quote recently that said, “I’d rather live with questions I can’t answer, than questions I can’t ask.” That makes sense to me. It’s not saying that God doesn’t have answers, it’s saying I’m not going to accept old pat answers that sound good but really don’t fit. I’m willing to say, “I still have some questions, so I’m going to keep looking”.

I love the thought that my relationship with God is still growing, that there is more to search out, that it was not frozen in the First Century Church and even though it is the same truth today as then, it can be a new adventure. I hope you will come along with us as we continue to “Find God” in our lives.
