The Unexpected Beauty of Minnesota
The Unexpected Beauty
of Minnesota:
The most peaceful and
Godly vacation ever!

I
recently wrote a story that talked about why young people in today’s society
don’t either go to church or believe in God! As I found myself on
vacation this past summer in the heartland, I underwent an amazing spiritual
change, getting closer to God through the majestic beauties and wonders he
created in both the land and air.
Yes,
you heard me right; it was my vacation that started with my first flight, which
was to Minnesota!
At first I was afraid when the plane took off the runway. I have never
been on a plane before so I didn’t know what to expect. As my fellow passengers
did their best to calm me down, I found my own solution, which was to look out
the window! Strangely enough looking out the window was not only therapeutic,
but also made me feel closer to God. On that plane I felt like Icarus, the
Greek boy whose father made him special wings to fly. Unfortunately, for Icarus
he flew too close to the sun and the wax on his wings melted! Thus, causing him
to crash into the sea and die! The only difference was that when we got close to
the sun, the wings on the plan DID NOT melt off.
For the first time in my life I flew over
Lake Superior and the Mississippi River, which
the pictures in the history books do not do them any justice. I got to
see my first lightning storm up close and personal and admire the beautiful
colors of purple, white, and black that decorated the sky. I got to see the
sunset and how it illuminates the sky and clouds with different colors of blue,
orange red, and white. That sight would touch the heart of even the most
ungodly. These beautiful wonders in the sky left me to see how awesome God is
for creating such beauty, but also letting us enjoy it as well.
Another majestic beauty I
experienced in Minnesota was the Millennium Gardens. The Millennium
Gardens are located in Plymouth, MN.
The gardens were first planted at the new millennium, but they quickly became a
tourist attraction for the town! It is filled with gardens of roses, many man
made ponds, bike & walking trails, civil areas and outdoors labyrinths that
one can feel at ease with both the world and sees God’s creative hand! As
my aunt and I walked through the garden, we had a beautiful conversation about
life, love, and where I see myself in the next five to ten years. Somehow being
in the garden helped me to feel all of the God’s essences. As I
saw various animals such as turtles and ducks in the gardens, that I
realized that I was so blessed to be able to see these things. Back home in DC
the only place I could get close enough to seeing the same beauty would be Georgetown’s walking and
biking trails!
In
essence, I realized that if you want to find, feel, and see God you don’t have
to go to a church, all you have to do is to go outside of your door and he is
right there waiting for you!
