Spiritual adulting can be hard, but it’s how we grow and learn and change. God loves us as we are but rarely leaves us alone to stay the same. God is always calling us to that edge where we have to risk and leap and trust.

For Reflection:

• What was it like for you as you moved from adolescence into adulthood? How did you grow into it? What helped you?

• How have you grown and changed and matured spiritually throughout your life?

• How do you respond when the Spirit calls you, especially if it calls you to something challenging or risky or edgy? What helps you to say yes?

• Maybe you could spend a little time reflecting with God. What does God have to say to you?
