I don't know about you but sometimes I wish it was as easy as finding the "spare room" with a wardrobe in it to go home. To be able to walk through an old wooden door or fall into a painting on the wall that suddenly to starts coming to life like in "The Chronicles of Narnia" and end up home just like that would be nothing far from the greatest thing ever. I often find myself watching these movies and craving to stumble upon a far away land called Narnia that resembles heaven. Can you imagine a place greater than a world where nothing bad happens and there is only goodness and good people? I am also a huge dreamer and a total sucker for anything resembling a fairy tale, a happy ending, or a distant far away land lacking any sort of reality.
I am not a huge believer in reality because I believe there are two types of people in this world. The idealists and the crazy dreamer people. I'm a crazy dreamer person. I am 19 years old and still read Alice in Wonderland on the regular and freak out in static when a new Peter Pan, Fairy Tale movie, or anything resembling Harry Potter is on the brink of coming out. Why be an idealist when you can dream about things that bring you happiness. This is called hope and this is what Jesus brings us. What is life without hope and faith in something better than what you can see? I know I'm a dreamer because I focus on things unseen and allow my mind to wander wherever it takes me next. The bible tells us not to focus on things we can see but what is unseen because what is seen lasts only a moment but what is unseen lasts a lifetime. I would rather imagine a better world than look and see the world crumbling around me because that is how to get depressed real fast.
