I'm naturally drawn to the exotic, but knowing God has made me see the exotic in the ordinary: family sitting around a fire telling stories late at night, listening to rain pour outside my window, running into an old teacher in a coffee shop, getting an encouraging text from a friend 2,000 miles away, getting a book in the mail...
God invites us into a rich reality in Him. It's creative, transcendant, normal, joyful, painful... and all about loving the people around you. When God romances me, I find the balance to dream without being driven by dreams; I can long for things without losing contentment and thankfulness for the present moment; and I'm free from the sin that so easily entangles...
