Saddle up your horses

Often, and I mean OFTEN, when I ponder our move to Beijing, this song comes to mind.
Back in early 2009 when Marek and I had to make the decision of whether or not to leave our comfort zone and move to The Middle Kingdom, a friend told me this over a cup of coffee. He said,'Come on, saddle up your horses' and I responded with, 'this is the great adventure'. 
These are the lyrics to my 'theme-song' that keeps me going through the craziest of crazy days.
The Great Adventure by Steven Curtis Chapman
Started out this morningIn the usual wayChasing thoughts inside my headOf all I had to do todayAnother time around the circleTry to make it better than the last
I opened up the BibleAnd I read about meSaid, I'd been a prisonerAnd God's grace had set me free
And somewhere between the pagesIt hit me like a lightning boltI saw a big frontier in front of meAnd I heard somebody say, "Let's go"
Saddle up your horsesWe've got a trail to blazeThrough the wild blue yonderOf God's amazing grace
Let's follow our LeaderInto the glorious unknownThis is a life like no otherThis is the great adventure, yeah
Come on get readyFor the ride of your lifeGonna leave long faced religionIn a cloud of dust behindAnd discover all the new horizonsJust waiting to be exploredThis is what we were created for, yeah
Saddle up your horsesWe've got a trail to blazeThrough the wild blue yonderOf God's amazing grace
Let's follow our LeaderInto the glorious unknownThis is a life like no otherThis is the great adventure
We'll travel over, over mountains so highWe'll go through valleys belowStill through it all, we'll find thatThis is the greatest journeyThat the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us farBeyond my wildest dreams, yeahOh, saddle up your horsesCome on, get ready to ride
Thanks Mr Chapman for these lyrics
