I have so many good things to say at night... after i get in bed, but i'm to tired to get up and get on-line to write in here.
I've been reading this book called "Freddy and Frederica"... so funny and so ridiculous... and the reason I love to read is because I get to live so many lives in so short of a time, and learn from people and from situations, and enjoy adventures in parallel with my own life.
Freddy and Frederica are to banned royalties, sent away from their current status and country to conquer a new world and become worthy of their title. And after a lifetime of having more than you need and never needing to fight and work for anything, a life of boredom and futility, two people rediscover the joy of life and love and discover each other for the first time and fall in love after being married for years.
And in their simple new lives, of washing public restroom or washing dishes or working on hard dirty jobs, they seem to flourish in comparison to the simple people who live the same exact lives as they do, but who never had more than the present.
The reason some people decide to give away their fortune and move to a third world country to work with the poor, and serve them and share the Gospel, it's because they conquered their worldly dreams, they had the audacity and ability to be the best they could, and what makes them happy now after giving it all up, it's not only the fact that they were at some point rich and they gave it all up willingly, the reason is a lot deeper, it's in their soul of passionate dreams, of hard work, of success stories, and now they went the extra mile, all the way to the top, giving it all up for he ultimate joy and satisfying purpose.
I was thinking that one day I may like to go back where my grandmother lived, and lead a simple life working the garden, and enjoying the birds singing in the morning. I have seen the world and I am living in the present, taking in my journey and allowing it to rise my spirit up, befriending worldwide known people, rich people, happy people and struggling people... and I may decide that what I want to do is work in missions.
Right now, I'm going downstairs to finish making the croissants. Saturday I have an interview with Apple, and until then, I keep cooking good food, and wake up very early in the morning to prepare lunch for my husband and have coffee with him before he goes to work.
Life is good. God is good.
