Crazy.
I am so sorry to all of you peoples out there who read my blog. I know I have only posted about 3 blogs since this all started, but I have been so busy....I have typed and re-typed my next blog post about 4 times now in the past month, and each time they have not had a good outcome as to what I wanted to say.
So, it has been awhile sine I have last posted a blog.
I have one typed up, but i decided to save for the future.
But anywho....quick update:
I leave in three days.
I got my airline tickets.
I managed (by God's amazingness) to get all of the finances I needed for this...amazing. Lots of very awesome people helped me out in a huge way. Thank you all!I seriously do not know what I would do if it was not for your support!
I have my cameras....my father gave me a HD video camera, which is perfect for the purposes of this blog. I also got a digital camera for picture purposes. My goal is to take hundreds of pictures of things in Israel to aid myself and others I know in teaching. I also may make a calender that mixes the Hebrew and Gregorian Calenders together.
Don't know. The outcome for these photos I will be taking will come along with whatever God wants. I just know I am supposed to take pictures.
Lots of pictures.
And high quality ones too.
So that has all worked out very well.
I am pretty much all set to go...cept for one thing.
And one major thing:
My visa.
I do not have one yet.
Supposedly, this could cause problems in me entering the country....but I wont know until I get there.
All I know is, things have worked out the way they have, and if I am truly supposed to go to Israel....God will not let Israeli Customs prevent me from going.
Friday night I received and email from JUC outlining what may happen if I do not have a visa.
I really kinda freaked out....it was disturbing.
However, it was Sabbath and I was really trying to ignore worrying about it. Anywho, someone at Sar Shalom on Saturday came up to me and said they felt like God told them to read these verses to me:
After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, "Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
(Joshua 1:1-9)
It was so amazing. I felt at complete peace over my trip to Israel.
I just know everything is going to work out the way it is meant to....everything has so far.
Thanks again everyone for everything.
My blog should get a lot more interesting once I get to Israel.
Videos and photos coming soon!
