the world is beautiful.

we had a lesson on the creation a few weeks ago in institute.
I love the world.
one of the things I'm most scared of is not ever seeing enough of it.
I've been to a handful of states, and our lesson on the creation made me realize that the amount of the world I have actually seen is tiny.

and that really freaked me out.

I spent the past week in a place with no mountains.  It was flat and green and beautiful, just beautiful in a different way than I'm used to.

then I came home to my mountains.

I don't think I've ever really appreciated them before, as they've always been there.

they are truly beautiful.

(I secretly want to hug them.  I missed them that much.)

God is a phenomenal artist.
