country bumpkin in the city

I sat in the subway and thought about this.

I walked over a steam vent and thought about this.

I walked under a construction crane and thought about this.

I know that as a tourist, gawking at the sights of the city, I was probably an obvious target for pickpockets.

But I didn't dwell on any of these potentially dangerous scenarios. I fully enjoyed the day - soaking in everything I could.

I need to remember to do that every day - not just on vacation. To not be afraid for what the future holds, but to enjoy every moment to the fullest.

Can I get an amen?

Isa 41:10:

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
