Today I am thankful for travel and the many opportunities I have had in my 30 years to explore this world.
My time in some of the places I'm about to mention was entirely too short. I'd love to go back to a few of these countries and explore more. Here's some of my favorite travel memories.
-In 2005, I visited California for the first time and fell in love with that state.
-In 2007, I lived in Peru for five months and got to explore the beauty and brokenness of Lima, a city of 9 million people, many of whom live in deep poverty.
-In 2011, I traveled to Uganda to help at an orphanage with a small group of people. I fell in love with the culture, the people, and the red dirt of that country. One day, I will go back!
This year I'm on my way to India with the love of my life. I'm excited to explore and am so thankful for the opportunity to go. It is such a gift to travel, a luxury really. I am thankful for the ability to fly above the clouds and see the glory of God so clearly as I travel. I'm also thankful that we are not all the same. God made every culture, every country so different and beautiful. He's calling every tribe, tongue and nation to himself and I love seeing it!
