So tomorrow my family and I, along with a group from our church, are leaving for Israel!  I cannot wait!  We as a family have been to Israel twice already, once on a tour, the second time to visit friends that God had placed in our life and now we are leading a trip with people from our church.  This has been a vision of my parents for a while and it has been so cool to see it all fall into place.  

I LOVE being exposed to other cultures!  We live in such a bubble here in the United States that it is really neat to see how people around the world live life.  

While over there we will visit the places like the Galilee, Jerusalem, Caesarea, and Meggido.  After the tour my family and I are going to be visiting some of our friends in other parts of the country.

I am so excited and I will hopefully be blogging some while we are over there to share some experiences.  If I am not able to there I will definitely write when I get back.  We would appreciate everyone’s prayers as we travel to a place that is somewhat unfamiliar.  Please be in prayer for our safety and just that we will have a wonderful time not only with the tour but in the time that we get to spend with our friends!

I will keep in touch!

One of my favorite times of the day is late at night after everybody goes to bed.  The world for the most part is still and tonight in particular the sky is crystal clear and the moon is almost full.  It is so bright that I am actually able to sit outside and write.  There are no lights and only the sound of distant cars.  This is when I am most at peace.  The distractions and constant activity of the day are replaced by shadows and stillness.  Once again this is when I am most at peace.  It is then when I hear God most clearly.  Some of my most intimate times with God have been experienced on my back porch in the middle of the night.  Sometimes I will sit and pray and afterwards I sit and wait for that glimpse of God.  Then as I wait in the stillness and the silence a breeze will move through the trees and as swiftly as it came it is once again silent. 

I love experiencing God in this way!
