I thought I leaned more towards being a big city girl--like living in a flat, and working in a cute boutique and being surrounded by friends (you know how they glam it in the movies...)--but when I was in places like London and Paris, I longed for the simpleness...the country...for home. The biggest lessons I learned is that there is really no place like home and that I want a simple life--a nice little home with a nice backyard and garden for me to keep with the children God may give me one day...but alas, only God knows my future!
While at the Louvre, I kept thinking to myself how these things--these treasures--will mean nothing in the end. We can't take them with us to Heaven. It made me question my motives in life...am I storing up my treasures in Heaven or on Earth?
As you may have noted, by Paris, I was already homesick. I'll I could do was count down the days till we boarded the plane to take us back to our family--it seemed like forever since I last saw the familiar sights of a place I didn't realize was so close to my heart till being hundreds of miles and an ocean apart.
