Daring to Dream Again

Last week I finally read Kissing Adrien and it impacted me so much. I’m still tearing up over it. It reminded me so much of Buenos Aires, life there, the attitude and culture, lifestyle, etc. Purchasing groceries for a daily need, walking to where you need to go, tiny elevators, old apartments, impeccably dressed people who are confident in who there are (how they look), using items for their use (sneakers for running, not for wearing as a shoe), outdoor cafés, eating late, sidewalk dining, cafecitos, pastries for breakfast and merienda, farmacias that carry makeup and professional help to aid you in your purchases, boutiques, carnicerías, vegetable stands, panadería, cotillón, heladerías, carrying your groceries home, slower lifestyle, siestas, month long vacations, meals made from scratch, people sharing their opinions whether you ask for it or not, 3 conversations carrying on at once, loooong visits over mate, friendships that last a lifetime regardless of physical distance.

And more than anything I want to serve Christ with my life. What better place to do it than in the one place I want to live, want to thrive? It’s not that I’m languishing here, it’s just that I terribly miss my adopted culture, and at this point would do anything to return there. Will God make that dream come true for us?
