Take the Limits OFF
D2R. A WAY OF LIFE
Off Limits Adventure. NO wifi zone!
You shall walk where only the wind has walked before and when all the music is stilled you shall hear the singing of the stream and enter the living shelter of the forest.”
– John Glascock Baldwin
“Not till we have lost the world do we begin to find ourselves.”
– Henry David Thoreau
Meaning
This is a once in a life time journey between you and God . It will also be a journey to find and get to know better your true self again.
You will venture out solo, with no electronics, phone turned off and only available for emergency. to discover corners of nature you have never been before!
It does not have to be extremely remote and far away! Sometimes it can be a mountain top near by, where you can reach the top and find your rock to sit down and contemplate the majesty of God’s masterpiece called nature!
Go Solo & God
Since you will be venturing out by yourself, make sure you tell somebody where are you going and when are you planning to be back.
Also make sure you check the final destination to not be so popular that by the time you get to the top, you find yourself surrounded by people and noise.
Do your homework and do some researcb about locations that might be more secluded than others.
Goals & Gains
# 1 Goal will be D2R in solitude with God and yourself!
# 2 Goal will be to FOCUS or REFOCUS on God and gain a new perspective of our life as a whole! Sometimes being on top of the mountain and seeing the bigger picture resembles our lives stories, when we sit up there with God, He shows us the bigger picture for us!
#3 Goal is take our “backpacks out” , the same way once we reach the top we take our backpack off our shoulders to rest, the same way once we get to the top and meet with God, we must leave our “burdens” backpack: doubts, lack of forgiveness, worries, fears , sorrows, grief, and all you can think of that is pushing you down from reaching your best for God .. just leave it all up there…and LEAVE IT THERE!!.. DO NOT bring them back down with you! Ask God to fill all the empty spaces in your life and fill you with His Peace, Love , Forgiveness!
