To Dream, To Live...

Europe...the place I so desire to see...seems so far out of reach but yet I must keep living out my dream by turning it into a reality. I don't know what the draw is but the more time goes on, the more I crave it. I want to experience all the beautiful culture, history, art, architecture, every detail of it. I want to see the most exquisite to the lowest street corner. I must! The more I see and hear the more I ask God why? I desire to see but also offer up my heart of worship, my voice, not necessarily in song but the voice of God flowing through me through the many waya He uses me.

I have been playing a Scrabble like game on my phone called WordFeud and I get to play with random people. Now I know the people could be from anywhere all around the world but I just have been playing the game not thinking about the whereabouts of the players. I have had a chat or 2 with some of the players, but only along the lines of "good game" or "you too". Today I see a chat post from a player mid game and she says, "I live in France, where did you live?" I enjoy the cultural grammar differences knowing in my school age studies of language that the English language has the most difficult grammar rules in comparison to learning any other language. It made me smile and think Ok Lord what are you up to! So of course I took an opportunity to converse and shared how I have always wanted to visit France and how my hubby is part French. She was very encouraging telling me I could definitely do it. I shared my goal of being in Europe by 2012. She gave me her email which I admit was a little odd but ah well at most I have made a possible penpal of sorts. I shared that I trust in God to Make my dream a reality so I see an open door. Maybe another game, maybe another chat...I'm not naive and am aware of creepy people online but it made me smile as it was totally random to me. Then the kickoff...a friend, fellow worship leader named Joel just posted FB pics of his trip to Europe and aaaaaahhhhh did my stomach began to tickle and I felt a rush of I need to get there...

I'm not sure where my intense desire came from but I really believe God planted it in me and has a plan. I desire more to follow in His plan and I would think if I have such a desire and dream for it then surely He has something in mind.

Anyhooooo, thought I'd share. I was kind of exploding and now I am good for now! Ha!

Until next time...
