So, this past week I was blessed with the opportunity to get away for 24 hours to the coast. Thanks to very cheap tickets and a free place to stay, I was able to travel to Cartagena for a little R &amp; R. I went with two friends and we spent some time wandering around and exploring the walled city (you have to visit here) and spent a lot of time by the ocean. I could not get enough of the water and waves. It is so life-giving for me to be by water. I miss water! Growing up in Minnesota and living in Chicago there was always a lake nearby and I would go often. No lakes in Medellin. So, I tried to soak it in as much as possible. While there I was reading through Joshua and Judges as part of my Old Testament class. The word that kept ringing through my head was &#8220;remember.&#8221; Remember God&#8217;s goodness. Remember God&#8217;s faithfulness. Remember who God is and what God&#8217;s done. Remember these moments in God&#8217;s presence. Remember. Here are some pictures I took to help me remember.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1346\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
