we’re back!
After 24 hours of travelling, we’re home. It’s impossible to summarize this trip. It was more emotional than I imagined it could be. We were up at 5:30 every morning, and back at our hotel for dinner each night. We walked many miles, took hundreds of pitures, and had our eyes opened to so many things. We got to dance with a professional Messianis dance team from Colo. when they invited us to worship with them one evening, and we got to share a meal with a young family who had just planted a church after moving to Israel from Russia. We floated in the Dead Sea, saw the sun rise over the Sea of Galilee, and picked up shells on the Mediterranean. We were baptizxed in the Jordan River.
I took notes on everything. There was no tv to distract, only an occassional email sent, so there was time to sit and reflect, although never enough.
I did do some writing, and I want to share one…
you can walk where I walked,
you can say what I said,
you can do what I did, but there’s more…
you can see what I saw,
you can hear what I heard,
you can touch what I touched, but there’s more…
when you walk in My shoes,
when you speak with My voice,
when you touch with My hands, that is more!
when you see with My eyes,
when you hear with My ears,
when you love with My heart, that is more!
when you live what you believe,
trusting in Me, and not in what you see;
you will know truth, but even more…
you will know Me!
