All the heroes of the faith, at some point, broke away from the norm, the crowd, the established, to become pioneers, to find their own spiritual property, build their own spiritual homes, to become caretakers of their own spirituality.
Some are happy just going along with the flow, upholding the faith and maintaining the institution of their religion. They are happy to live and die in the arms of their inherited religion, belief, faith and spirituality. They are a stable blessing to the world. We are thankful.
But not those who have a sense of adventure and harbour within their breast the urgent necessity to expand their territory!
It has always been a dangerous and lonely occupation. It is fraught with threats to life and limb. But this fades in importance to the promise of new life, freedom and independence. They will always leave the comforts of home to find new life.
There are, unfortunately, no maps. The hostiles have not been subdued. You are on your own. But you can read the stories of those who have done the same thing. They have excellent general advice. They have wise warnings. They have useful strategies. But there are no specifics for you specifically. But they also have good news, favourable reports, and the hope of what they were looking for.
I want to encourage you that your journey, from beginning to end, is blessed. But you must embark. You must take it. You must become the pioneer you’ve always felt you were called to be.
Go!
