Dreaming...

This morning, as I was looking through the various blog template and background options, I came across the section of pictures entitled "Travel". As is made known through my profile, I am passionate about traveling. I have been blessed in visiting many of the states of America, and I have enjoyed every one of them; however, due to limited funds and opportunity, I have done little in the way of international travel. In truth, I have only been outside the US once, and that was only to Niagara Falls when I was two years old. Needless to say, I do not remember it.

Another passion of mine is for history, both that of America and the world. As a result of these two passions, I long to travel and see the whole world. In particular, I desire to see Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Due to certain current circumstances, it is often difficult to imagine how I would manage to carry out this desire, but I keep it in my heart and cautiously dare to dream of weeks and months spent in the ancient cities and countries.

In the meantime, every time I see pictures of Europe and the other foreign countries of the world, something inside my heart stirs and aches to see those sights, those mountains, that architecture, myself. Only God knows what my future will hold, yet I continue to hope and pray that perhaps traveling through the "Old World" will be among His plans for me.

Someday perhaps I will look back on this post as a dream fulfilled. Soli Deo Gloria!
