Worlds Away...

I woke up on Sunday morning in the same city I have for the past 2 years, Bogota. But today was different, I was in a different world.

Alan decided to "steal" me away on Saturday afternoon to an old, renovated, colonial, Colombian hotel in the heart of La Candaleria, the old city of Bogota. Although we were only a few miles from our apartment, we had such a wonderful time just getting away from the rush of the city to the quiet, quaint, cobblestone streets...and being alone together.

I awoke to birds chirping, and took a run in a part of the city I had not run in before, new faces, new buildings, a new smell, and a new sound. I thought, this is my city, but this is a whole different world than what I usually wake up to.

It is so great to be reminded that "our little worlds" are not that big...and that an amazing world goes on all over the universe every day that we don't get to see or be a part of. God made us to be such intricate beings, yet we are just a speck of dust, a flower floating in the wind.
