Travel.

I want to travel.
Everywhere.
All over the US, Canada, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. I literally want to go everywhere and see everything. I want to experience a little bit of everything this world has to offer. I mean God made this earth for us to see and explore, so why stay in one little section of the world your whole life?

Growing up, my family took a big road trip about every other year. I've driven up and down the East Coast multiple times, as far north as Canada and as far south as Florida. We've also gone to the midwest, Texas and California. (But we flew to the last two, driving would have been crazy.) I loved traveling with my family. When we drove, I would look outside of the window and watch the world go by. I didn't want to miss anything. When we flew, I would still look out the window and watch the world go by. I loved seeing the ground beneath me change before my eyes. Then when you got off of the plane it was like you were in a whole new world! So many opportunities and things to do. It was all yours for the taking.

That's what I want to do with my life; travel.
See things.
Experience the world God gave us to enjoy. Share his word with people, and somewhere along the way change some lives.

I have this urgency, this need to go to different places and just live. To become a local for a few weeks. See what other people see on a regular basis. Experience the culture in the best way possible. I've been talking about experiencing things when you travel. I want to live life to the fullest, and one of the best ways to do that is to get out there and see the world. Whether it's a new city an hour away from your hometown, or a country on the other side of the world, go see it. Go to a local shop, bakery, museum, something and just see it. Get out of your comfort zone and enrich your life. Take in that culture. Let it become a part of you.

Man, if I could get paid to live out of a suitcase and see the world I would do it in a heartbeat. But nah, God's got other plans for me. And that's okay. I can still travel and let God use me in the best way possible. He has a plan for all of us, and it's all going to work out in the end.
