dreamer vs. comfort?

Today...well today is blistery. A beautiful blistery but blistery none-the-less. The snow is deep. The air is cold. The trees are white and the hills are flooded with toboggans. But me...well I stay inside warm, comfortable, and comforted by the mere thought of comfort. I hope this line of thought doesn't catch up with me in other areas of life. I mean what if life becomes just that...a hot bed of comfort?

Adam is a dreamer - to his very core! His picture is, I'm sure, posted beside DREAMER in the dictionary (who are we kidding...who uses a dictionary over wikipedia these days). Often he wakes in the middle of the night to write down dreams and ideas that pop into his head - script ideas most often these days. I catch him standing or sitting in in a random place staring off just thinking, dreaming, drooling over the "possibilities" this life's deck of cards could deal us.

My sexy husband - the 'dreamer' - in Hawaii

Me? I'm a dreamer 50% of the time. But for the most part I get caught up in the comfort of 'home', the comfortable, the known, the familiar. I don't know if I like this part of me. Adam is a happy balance for me. Perhaps I for him as well. What a blessing.

me - the 'inbetweener dreamer'

Our pastor and friend said the other week that God (the Great Card Dealer) calls us to be faithful in the mundane of life's activities. Because, really, truly, isn't that what fills up the greater portion of life? The mundane. The mundane tasks of work & errands. And while this is true...and while I desire to be faithful to Him throughout the mundane I fear I'll get caught in it. Do you fear this? How are we to find the balance of being content and faithful in the now while dreaming of the 'what could be's'?

Us - a harmonized match

Hmmm...thoughts.

Meanwhile, our mundane life has decided for us that Ad & I will be all about happy camper dates. What the what is that, you ask? It's the glorious thought that we plan our OWN dates and the other gets the rich task of being the happy camper. Adam's vetoed shopping...Yah yah, I'll give him that one. Although, I'm left wondering how I can sneekishly weave the concept of shopping into this date...IKEA date, hunny?
