What to Say

I know I should update you and I know I had things to say but right now it is hard to think of what they were.

So when I can remember I will write it. So here are some of my favorite pictures of bowling with frineds last week.

This is Netanel and Joel.

This is Joel and Oriel. (I think she looks like a Barbie doll.)

This is Netanel and myself.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

So, I still can't believe I fly home (CA) in a week an a half. It is just mind boggling. I mean I have been here for 2 months already. And a lot has happened. I tried to write a quick blog earlier this week but I couldn't slow my brain down enough to type and then my internet was non existent. So here I am.

Well, last Tuesday all Israel had an air raid siren test. And this might not surprise many of you but I slept through it. I think that if I am capable of sleeping through the siren then it is not loud enough. But then everyone had to go down to the bomb shelters but it was all a practice to make sure everything was working properly.


Then on Friday I had a group of friends over and we had Shabbat dinner and then we WALKED to the bowling to go bowling and then WALKED home. Now, you might not think that is special, but let me tell you the bowling alley was easily a 3mile walk. And since it was Shabbat there were no buses and we were not willing to pay for a taxi since we would have had to get 2. But it was a blast. Joel won both games. I should have won the second but Joel started calling down fire from Heaven and that was the only reason he won. I am challenging him to a rematch when I get back here. But we had a blast.

Sadly I have to go now. There is a group in the land from Bethel, in Redding CA here and I am a busy girl. I will hopefully type more later. Bye

ME!!

So I guess I might as well go back to last week. Last week was interesting. Everything seemed hard. Things seemed difficult that I have done so easily before. So, the week went and on Wed I decided that I was going to see The Covenant. thecovenant.com It is a play about God's covenant with His people. I saw it last year and loved it. And Wed was the last day it was playing until fall. So I went to buy my ticket and as I was getting the man working the cash register said wait aren't you a volunteer or student and I said yes. So, my ticket was cheaper which was my only concern with going to the play was the cost of the ticket. So God was so good.

Now the whole week wasn't bad, per say. Like on Tues evening a group of us went out after a watch and had dessert. And the presence of the Lord just fell in the restaurant. And I encourage you guys to take the Lord with you to the streets. We don't share Yeshua with people, but we simply let the Holy Spirit have his way with us and pray that the overflow will effect people.

Then Thur continued to be an awkward day. I had an evening watch and it went, it was neither good or bad. But then my friend had the following watch and he had difficulty finding music. SO I told him, he should play piano and I will sing. And it was amazing and powerful. We were singing God's vengeance and mercy. I just felt that my slump week was over. Words just flowed, tune and melody just flowed. It was a good night.

Then last night I had a time of soak (resting in the Lord) with friends. And the words spoken over me were amazing and what I needed to hear and explained some things I am going through already.

So, God is so good.

Wow

So, the Lord is doing a ton out here. Things are just moving and happening. Sometimes I feel like I can't catch up on writing it down or sharing. So I know this afternoon there was a lot I was going to share so now I will try to remember it all.
First of all here is the picture my friend from Israel painted. It was part of his senior project. And just so you know it is like 5' by 3' maybe bigger. It is of the bride of Christ; and there is construction going on just to show that the bride is still around and is a current thing; and in the sky is the Norther Lights just to show that even the heavens declare the glory of the Lord. This is just one of his amazing paintings. But so far I think this is my favorite.
As most of you know by now there was teen age messianic believer injured in a terrorist attack. It is a miracle that he is even alive. He is apparently doing well. He is awake and he can now see. But there is still alot of healing that the Lord needs to do. So if you could continue to keep him up in prayer that would be wonderful. But the neat thing is, (side note, one of the wathces is praying for the messianic body so they send us prayer requests) that the rest of the messianic body for now is not sending in any prayer requests because the only important prayer request on their heart is healing for Ami.
And it just started me thinking. Would we do that in the states? If someone in our county (not even thinking state) had a huge need, would the rest of us lay aside our needs and lift that person up without worrying about ourselves. For me personally I don't even see that in churches. When people have needed breakthroughs to we stop asking the Lord for the things we "need" and start petitioning God for the persons breakthrough. I mean the "needs" out here are huge. People need protection, favor in the government, life neccesities, but they are saying right now (for the last week at least) my "needs" aren't important, only Ami is important. That to me is just huge. And I think it would be amazing if we could all grasp that.
Also, new news a palestinian christian was kidnapped the other day in Gaza.
So things are stirring up out here. But don't worry Grandma I am fine. I am using wisdom and trusting that since the Lord has me here that He will protect me accordding to Psalm 91.
I would write what the Lord is doing in me but it feels like the wrong time. I will save that for tomorrow. God Bless!!
