I missed this place!

Hello again, augray! I must say that your dreams of Narnia and TLC are pretty cool.
I’m sorry you’ve had some tough stuff to deal with. Whether or not you choose to delve into Narnia again, you’re always welcome to hang out here. We may be a Narnia community, but that’s not the only language we speak.

Augray, I'm glad you came back again and that you dreamed about this place.

I kind of get what your saying about that you're dealing with more grown-up things right now. I sort of felt that same way during and right after nursing school and avoided this site. I have just seen too much and know too much that can go wrong and my mind has become more geared to solving problems than just enjoying things (if that makes sense).

Like, I was watching Dreamwork's Prince of Egypt and started crying when I realized how much I had grown up and still feel like I'm not headed where God wants me to be. I also have a hard time talking with kids now that I'm an adult, even though, when I was a teenager I was volunteering with toddlers in church every third week.

I think if you read the Narnia books, that they will be familiar and that you will still be able to enjoy them. C.S. Lewis fought in WWI and was still able to write them (albeit, years later), so I think there is some hope for us adults.

Thank you guys so much for your replies *hug* It's encouraging to know other people are having similar experiences. For a lot of years now I've felt like I'm going through the part of life where I can't enter Narnia anymore, in a way, and it's scary. But I think that God is pulling me back toward it, for whatever reason. A few days ago my friend and I planned to do a sort of book club over the summer and we're going to start with the Silver Chair.

I can speak from experience that God has used Narnia as a way to get me to think on stuff. Even to wake me up to a major issue I had! Perhaps that’s what this pull is: a way for Him to show you something in a different angle.
