I think the reason I love traveling so much is because it feels like an escape. In a way it feels like life stops for awhile. I've learned that going somewhere far won't make your problems smaller. You can run so far, but your problems will follow. Although, just for a second, being away from all the drama, sadness, and issues in a small town feels freeing. It is breathtaking seeing beautiful sites. Feeling small while standing in front of the ocean makes some type of peace come over my body. Standing in a museum or in front of a historical monument makes you realize your problems really aren't so bad.
I love looking out the window of a plane at the clouds before you and looking down at the big buildings that look small all of a sudden. It's mind blowing to go to sleep on a bus you've been on for twenty hours just to wake up the next day looking at the sunrise on a mountain. All of it makes you think. This is all God's creation. You see how beautiful and amazing it all is. It makes you realize out of all the creation that so amazing, God decided He needed you. We are His creation too. Seeing the world makes you not only realize how beautiful and amazing it is, but makes you realize how beautiful and amazing you are yourself. This is why I love traveling. There's something about going to another place on planet earth that makes me feel something great inside. It makes me enjoy myself more and be more appreciative of the world I live in that our God created.
''You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you.'' Nehemiah9:6
''The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.'' Psalm 19:1
