i just came back from a trip to LA for spring break - a definite perk of teaching! and i was reflecting on the differences between LA and chicago... well, there's lots of opportunities for art and music, asian-dominated and asian-friendly areas, the gorgeous sunny weather, beautiful successful people....
and in chicago, we're like the overweight capital of the u.s. - maybe not chicago, but the midwest... and the asians are hidden in the dark corners, it's too cold to go out to enjoy the art and music for 8 months out of the year....
but i still feel like it has to be where God has called someone, for that person to go to that place... whether we feel happier or not there... as my friend was telling me, maybe my being in chicago helps the gospel seem more urgent and real to me than somewhere that i'm really comfortable.
i do miss my family... in every part of the world... and i wish the world was smaller so it would be easier to hang out...
