I picked up Uncle Jim and Aunt Fina from the airport today. The sights and smells set me off daydreaming about just leaving for China. I really could just do it. I don't have huge responsibilities here. I don't have the money for a ticket, but I could obtain it with not too much difficulty. I wouldn't have to worry about getting a new car! I could stay with friends when I got there until I could get a job teaching English somewhere. It could really happen!
(sigh) But it won't. I do feel like the Lord has me here for a reason. He's teaching me a lot. And money is probably a bigger drawback than what I let it be in my imagination. But the imagining is sure fun!
(Don't think that this means I'm not happy here at home. I am. I just don't want everything to become "business as usual." There's a whole beautiful world out there and I don't want to become so focused on my little circle that I don't see the bigger picture. Part of that is dreaming of the possibilities.)
