I was in Boracay last weekend with some of my dear friends, Iya, Janelle, and Varsha.  Besides the awesome blueness of the water, the fun-filled sailing, and the beautiful sunset, we got to experience the excitement of riding an ATV and actually driving it on a rough road.

I had the time of my life riding the ATV.  It wasn't easy but it sure was an experience I won't mind repeating.  And as I was zooming through the national road on our way back to the ATV rental place,  I had a picture in my mind of going through life akin to an ATV ride.

I realized a lot of times, the things that happen in life are like the rough road we had to go through.  It could be very bumpy and unpredictable.  So many times, we do not know what's around the bend.  There is a process God takes us through and all we want is for it to end.  That He will get done with what He needs to do, then, we can go on.  We get so impatient to see the result of the process, we often forget the process itself is like an adventure that can be totally enjoyed.

Yes, my ATV ride was a great adventure.  I totally loved the experience of standing while driving through the bumpy and seemingly dangerous rough road to Mt. Luho.  It was difficult, but seeing the spectacular view on top of the mountain made  it all worthwhile.  And, I got a bonus when I least expected it.  On our way back, driving through the highway, adventurously standing, I got to see a beautiful sun about to set. 

Yes, I do love the seasons of life, and the process God takes me through.  I hope and pray that I may always view it as a great adventure.
