Since little on, I'...Oh, I so hear you on this. Since little on, I've always longed to travel. In my naive youth, I'd never realized the finances, the time, the exhaustion that is involved in travel...and so I'd sweetly stored up all these little adventures I'd take, whether single or hitched...I simply had to!<br /><br />And then adulthood struck. There were bills, jobs, education, family...and my nomadic dreams took a backseat. I finally traveled across the Atlantic this summer, to Ireland. It was beautiful...but I got the entire eyeful of all that cross-continental travel takes!<br /><br />Sometimes, I think our technology bites us in the butt here. The ability to constantly see new locations, the awareness of what is really out there and the ease with which that info jumps into our lives...how helpful...and at times damaging! I, like you, find myself jealous of friends (or bloggers!) who have been to Europe multiple times and get to see the world routinely. It's so difficult to squelch that jealousy.<br /><br />Keep your dreams. :) Marriage or travel...it's not one or the other. Well, it might be more of one...and a little less of the other. :) But keep dreaming that you'll see the amazing world God's created across the sea. Someday you will!bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317376256234568601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103698962783890.post-83090721766476722762010-11-26T18:00:57.302-08:002010-11-26T18:00:57.302-08:00I really really love that song! I love Andrew Pete...I really really love that song! I love Andrew Peterson, but I had never heard that song before. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your sweet heart, Nikki. I can relate so much with the longing to travel. I hope so much that one day you are able to take the a trip of your dreams! The whole time I was reading your post, I kept on thinking about this sweet piece of writing on my tumblr...<br /><br />(http://sweetandlovelythings.tumblr.com/post/1224593215/restlessdelusionalyouth-frogsandcrowns)<br /><br />Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! <br />xoAndi Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13781123413341494058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1386103698962783890.post-31457074715581344312010-11-23T13:04:17.554-08:002010-11-23T13:04:17.554-08:00You know, Nikki, I read this yesterday and felt so...You know, Nikki, I read this yesterday and felt so honoured to hear your heart. But the more I've thought about it the more I've thought that I think God put those longings in your heart for a reason. I think as you walk in obedience to Him He has plans to surprise you with taking you to some pretty incredible places. Have you guys ever thought of doing a short term missions trip? That was just a thought I had...<br /><br />I will be praying (I already have since reading this) that God will take you to some amazing places with Him. (And Mr. Mike, too. : ) )<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Misha https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195857544897293479noreply@blogger.com
