There’s so much joy available in small things — a cup of great coffee, your loved ones gathered together, or a job well done. Even when things could be better, it almost feels selfish to ask for more.

But from time to time, do you ever look up from small moments of joy and feel a quiet sense of dissatisfaction? Do you wonder, Shouldn’t my life be contributing to something bigger?

Perhaps you have gifts or talents you’ve rarely shared, or relationships you hope to deepen but can’t. And then there are people you think you should be able to help, but you just can’t find the time, energy, or opportunity.

And every once in a while, you look out at the wider world. You see the pain, hunger, and hurt, then wish you could do something about it. But your own circumstances, the daily rhythm of life, and the demands of just being you hold you back.

So if you ever feel like you want to live into something larger but aren’t sure how to do it, we understand. That’s how we felt, too.

But we discovered our lives were about more than ourselves and the small circle we had created. We had to get out of our tiny comfortable bubble and reach for something greater.
