How Great.

This week two friends and I took a hike up to the mountains in Cochabamba. What we planned on being a nearly 3 day trip ended up being a full day of climbing, a bonfire, camping, and a quick walk down the next morning. Someone had the clever idea to make this little trip amidst the rainy season...Yeah, it was my idea. We found ourselves soaked and freezing all night which had the potential to put a bad taste in our mouth for the whole experience. But the view from our campsite and the amazing walk up will forever stay in my mind. I couldn't help but smile as I wheezed my way up every step that lifted the altitude. I couldn't help but be content as the rain made me shiver and my legs trembled. I was looking at so many amazing things. From the view, to the woods, to the plants, I was overwhelmed. The more I see of this earth the more in awe I am of God. Not only that He created this, He controls this, and He cares for this but that He would take the time to care for me as well. Little ole me. When I see a sliver of the beauty which is His earth I become more and more in love with in and in absolute awe of His glory.

This song is a small attempt at trying to express this feeling of awe. And what a great feeling it is. Wow. Oh & it's just as good in Spanish! Now that I know both versions I think I may even like the Spanish one more so give them both a listen! :)
