We had the opportunity to go to the Great Wall of China while we were training in Beijing. It was so amazing to think that years and years ago the Chinese people created this wall and there are still parts of it standing today. When I looked at the wall I felt like it went on forever. The wall was beautiful and so large. Simply walking the uneven steps from one guard house to another took all the energy our little bodies could muster in the heat of the day. I was incredibly thankful for my bottle of water and for the shade provided by the guard towers. I felt like a princess in a castle, but at the same time, the wall also reminded me that I am only a small and seemingly insignificant part of this world. This made me start to really think about the Father and the part in the book where David writes, "what is man that thou art mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?"
