Before you say it, I know, it's been WAY too long and I'm really sorry about that. I've been staying busy with school, getting ready for my trip to Uganda, Africa and London, England next month. I will most likely be blogging about it and putting pictures up after we get back which will be in April, so stay tuned for that. I have also started an encouraging Instagram page for people to know that they are "fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14 If you would like to check that out or follow me: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/hischosenones">www.Instagram.com/hischosenones</a> I also have been doing some photo shoots, editing photos, and more. My grandmother died pass away so our family made a trip down to Arizona. Phew!! That was a lot! Ha ha ;) I've been thinking up different options for Moments of the Heart. There might be some re-modeling or something like that. Stay tuned for that too because I don't want y'all to miss anything ;)<br />
<br />
To give you all an idea of what I'm doing on the His Chosen Ones Instagram page I post this post I wrote a couple of days ago. Hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
"What does it mean to be chosen? I hope you know how precious and loved you are. The reason I chose 'His Chosen Ones' because YOU are His chosen one. He calls us His beloved children and He chose us with an everlasting love. He died on the cross for our sins, forgives us no matter what we do or say, and in His Word He says that He "chose and formed you from your mother's womb." Psalm 139:14<br />
<br />
He has called you chosen even before you were born. He knows how many hairs are on your head and what you will be doing in the future. He knows everything about you; our joys and sinful things. Even though He knows/has seen everything about you, He still chooses you and loves you with an everlasting love. You are so loved. You are His chosen one. He has called you by name ever since day one. You. Are. Beautiful. Your heart is made of gold. You are so loved by me and by God.<br />
<br />
We all go through things, and though we struggle, by the end of the day, we can rest in assurance that He loves and chose you. Have a blessed day, chosen ones of the King. Never forget to smile and to rejoice in all things."<br />

We were all so sad to leave Israel.Kaila B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14719440407987895554noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713366386378469943.post-28356702717168530542017-01-03T13:57:00.001-08:002017-01-03T14:06:27.131-08:00September 6th, 2016 Day 14- Israel trip September 6<sup>th</sup>, 2016- Day 14, last full day in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
We visited another historical place that day, oh, and I
tasted the best tea I’ve ever had in my life that morning. We drove to <st1:place w:st="on">Masada</st1:place>, and took a gondala up to the mountain . You can
hike up there but they had to close the path because it was dangerously hot
outside that day. <st1:place w:st="on">Masada</st1:place> is called “a fortress
on a hill” and boy it was a fortress. It was so hot up there to the point we
had sweat dripping down our backs! It was crazy. Up on the mount there was a
360 view of the <st1:place w:st="on">Dead Sea</st1:place>, mountains, valleys
and canyons. It was amazing up there. If you want to learn more about the
fortress of <st1:place w:st="on">Masada</st1:place> and what happened up there
I highly suggest you to look it up. <st1:place w:st="on">Masada</st1:place> is
where the Romans came in, attacked a small community of Jewish freedom
fighters. The Jewish rebels couldn’t get out so they committed suicide instead.
It’s a very sad story but there are many thought provoking and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>inspirational aspects to think about there.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Then we drove to Tel Aviv and stayed in a Messianc guest
house. Tel Aviv kind of reminded me of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Nashville</st1:city></st1:place>,
it’s a very busy modern city. Our family walked down to the <st1:place w:st="on">Mediterranean
sea</st1:place> and my little sister and I jumped in the waves, splashed each
other, laughed, goofed off and even played a little bit with a dog there. It
reminded me of when my sister and I were younger and we would go to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South Carolina</st1:place></st1:state>. We had a
blast with each other and I think my parents enjoyed watching us ;) <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Jaffa</st1:city></st1:place>, a town by the sea,
is where Jonah<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was swallowed up by the
fish and where a lady named Tabitha, who my younger sister is named after, was
from. For our last night, we ate our last pita and hummus in Isarel from a very
nice man and it was soooo good!! The next day we got up early, headed to the
airport and flew back home. By Mom, sister, and I cried on the plane as we were
taking off. Part of our heart was left in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>, and we believe it’s the
first of hopefully many times that we will go back there.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I had such a blessed time in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>. My heart was touched in
many different ways. The Bible came alive for me, God spoke to me, and He has
brought to my attention things that were in my life that weren’t honoring to
Him and I need to take them out of my life. I was transformed in so many
different ways there and I look forward to 1. when I can go back to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region></st1:place>
and 2. When the return of our Messiah occurs. If there’s any way possible, I’d
recommend every Believer try to go to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> at least once in your life.
It was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I was changed, it is
beautiful there, the people are so nice, it’s not what the media portrays and
the Bible will truly come alive for you. Someday I will be back, but until
then, I will continue to pray for the peace/shalom of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> and say

September 5<sup>th</sup>, 2016- Day 13 <br />
We headed out that morning from the Sea of Galilee and drove
several hours south to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Negev</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Desert</st1:placetype></st1:place>. On our way, we
followed a gigantic army tank, and we saw a young boy leading his camels with
his donkey… you don’t see that everyday in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>. You know when you are
really close to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Jordan</st1:country-region> when
you get a text from Verizon saying “Welcome to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jordan</st1:place></st1:country-region>.” Along the road there was
so much green and produce which was so exciting to see. We stopped off to <st1:place w:st="on">Qumran</st1:place> caves where a shepherd boy found the dead sea scrolls
and where a community of Jews lived. It was so hot so we didn’t stay there long
but it was fascinating going there. Then we drove to Ein Gedi, a gorgeous park
with mountains and beautiful falls where David hid from Saul and where he wrote
many of the Psalms. We had a blast there!!! Our family all walked under the
falls, hiked a little, got wet again, and hiked some more to the huge falls. We
went through caves that had moss and then tada! There were the huge falls! We
couldn’t go in certain areas but the ones that you could go in were a blast! We
had so much laughter and it was nice to get wet after being sweaty. Then we
drove a bit more and arrived at the <st1:place w:st="on">Dead Sea</st1:place>!
There was so much salt there it was sitting on top of the water in big clumps.
We changed into our swimsuits. Then it was so fun and strange just floating on
top of water. You don’t get to do that everyday! Our family then plastered mud
on ourselves that we had purchased <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to
experience the healing effects of the mud/salt mixture. After washing it off,
your skin is very smooth. We had so much laughter that very busy day. It was a
blast! Then we went to a new friends house, had an incredible Israeli spread of
food for dinner outside on their veranda and went to sleep early. It was such a
memorable day. <br />

September 4<sup>th</sup>, 2016- Day 12<br />
We headed out that morning with new friends that we met from
<st1:country-region w:st="on">New Zealand</st1:country-region> who were also
staying at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Aliyah</st1:placename>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Return</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Center</st1:placetype></st1:place>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have three children and their sweet
little daughters have the most adorable accents ever. We visited a mountain
that has caves where Yeshua would have walked toward <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>, and many other historical and
archeological sites. Our family was riding in Chaim, our tour guide’s car and
it wouldn’t re-start at the gas station. So we had to drop off his car at a
dealership and then he went with us in our rental car. While we were waiting
for Chaim we went to “The Juice Man” shop. He was a nice older Jewish man that
knew my older sister. Right when we walked up he was like “wait a second,
you’re Alexandra’s family aren’t you?” It was so funny! He let me juice an
Israeli pomegranate and apple and he sang a song while playing on the guitar
for us… in Spanish. Lol, it was great! <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
We headed over to Magdala where Mary Magdalene was from. The
excavators there found a synagogue, house, original coins, a stone that has
really cool meanings to it, and a water channel. The synagogue they suspect is
the first one Yeshua would have spoken in. One of the biggest highlights from
the trip was seeing spots that are talked about in the Bible. The Bible really
came alive for me in the <st1:place w:st="on">Sea of Galilee</st1:place> area
and a stronger, deeper passion grew inside of me. Also in Magdala, we toured
around in a worship center they is being built. Downstairs was a beautiful
painting of Yeshua’s feet when the lady came, touched His cloak and was
immediately was healed. Our tour guide told us the story of a family from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> who came
to that place and the children were so scared from all the bombings that were
happening in their area. Our guide had them write/draw their biggest fears.
Then she told them to put the paper on the ground, stomp all over it and then
they were to put it below the painting signifying that Yeshua’s power protects
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They can stomp all over the evil
one for “perfect love, God’s love, casts out fear”. I thought that was a very
powerful testimony especially because I’ve dealt with a lot of fear in the
past. </div>
<br />
Upstairs several of us stood around a ceramic bowl where the
best acoustics were and sang a worship song with each other. There was
beautiful harmony and the acoustics were fantastic in there. It was powerful.
Before lunch we visited where the thousands of people stood while Yeshua
multiplied the fish and the bread. Even though it was really great to be there,
they also have a Catholic church built beside where the miracle happened. This happens
throughout <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
and these sites become commercialized, which is very disappointing. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
After visiting Magdala, Chaim took us to dip our feet in the
<st1:place w:st="on">Sea of Galilee</st1:place> where Yeshua talked to His
disciples in Matthew 4:19 saying, “I will make you fishers of men.” Next, we
had lunch at a Christian restaurant where Chaim ordered a whole fish-head and
tail included. When his fish came out he said, “oh look, I found Dory.” It was
so funny!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Afterwards, we went to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Capernaum</st1:city></st1:place>. We saw where
Peter’s house was. It was large for that time and was like a maze. Then we went
to the Mount of Beatitudes (Matthew 5:2-12). On the mountain there is a
beautiful view overlooking the Sea of Galilee and just imagining thousands of
people standing there listening to Yeshua speaking. The Mount of Beatitudes was
my favorite spot we visited that day and one of my favorites on the whole trip.
It was a really powerful and touching moment to be there. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Chaim then took us to the <st1:place w:st="on">Jordan river</st1:place>
where Yeshua was possibly baptized. We were going to be baptized there too but
it was closed off. It sits beside a location that buses of tourists come to be
baptized with buying a white robe and receiving a certificate and also. That
was way to impersonal for us. Secondly, there was another spot along the river
Chaim showed us, but there was a restaurant and youth gathering. It was very
loud, so we decided to go elsewhere, and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>do our mikvah (baptism) in the <st1:place w:st="on">Sea of Galilee</st1:place>. Chaim left us so we went by ourselves. I
think it was more special and meaningful to me to get baptized in the Sea
because of all that happened on the Sea. I had a very powerful time doing my
mikvah where you essentially just lower yourself under the water. My soul was
renewed and I could feel my Abba Father smiling down on me. I’m not going to
share what my heart felt because that is private to me. But I just want to say
that it was a really special moment. If you ever come to Isarel and you want to
be/get baptized I highly suggest doing it. We had a blessed day that day. </div>

The beautiful Israeli flag on the SeaKaila B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14719440407987895554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713366386378469943.post-52656745103246388282017-01-03T13:20:00.000-08:002017-01-03T13:20:02.414-08:00September 3rd, Day 11-Israel trip September 3<sup>rd</sup>, 2016- Day 11 We were told that <st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region> has changed but the <st1:place w:st="on">Sea
of Galilee</st1:place> is and will always be the same. Those are the same
waters that Yeshua walked on which is so cool to think. After breakfast we
headed to a worship boat. Daniel Carmel (the boat captain) is the only
Messianic boat owner on the sea. He played and sang great worship songs on the
boat and when he played Oceans by Hillsong that just really touched my heart.
The wind was blowing and it was saying, “You(Yeshua/Jesus) call me out upon the
waters”-referring to Peter. All the lyrics in that song are amazing. I’ve heard
that song so many different times but that time, on the Sea that Yeshua walked
on and He called Peter to walk on was just so powerful. I could for sure feel
God’s Holy Spirit within me and it was incredible. Will you come out onto the
waters of a challenging situation, if He calls you or will you be scared and
fall in like Peter? Having Shabbat in the Land and sailing on the waters of the
<st1:place w:st="on">Sea of Galilee</st1:place> is indeed a memory I’ll never
forget. Back at the guest house we all had nice Shabbat naps, more food and
then headed out for a drive around the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>entire
<st1:place w:st="on">Sea of Galilee</st1:place> which took about an hour and a half.
We couldn’t have gone at a better time because the sun was setting and shining
through all the trees. It was so beautiful! We then went to this wonderful, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>restaurant on the peer overlooking the sea and
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>had amazing food. The waves were
crashing and we had really great family time together. The hummus tastes so
much better here than it does in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>, just saying ;) I miss Shabbat
in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Land</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Israel</st1:placename></st1:place>. It is so uniquely special there.

Early that morning we drove to Zikhron Yaaqov to go to a
Kibbutz called Beth-El- a German, Christian community that exists to employ
Israelis and bless <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
My older sister helped here with Servants to the Land. At the community they
toured us around the factories that they have built, a school, retirement home,
day care, big barns and all the fields of produce they have. We saw all the
animals they have like cows, goats chickens etc. We had lunch in the cafeteria
where the workers are fed, along with their families, with the elders of the
community. Lastly, we then visited a friend of my older sister, played with her
little daughter, had more tasty snacks and talked awhile.<br />
<br />
Then we arrived at the home of an Orthodox Jewish family who
my sister, her husband and a few other friends know. We had a delicious Israeli
dinner with them and such great conversations. They were so thoughtful, kind
and wise. After dinner, we ladies walked around their neighborhood. We watched
the beautiful sunset with them and had more wonderful conversations. The Jewish
people really are so loving and hospitable. They were telling us that their
neighbor was a grandchild of a Nazi solider. Ironically, our friends are from
families who survived the Holocaust and they still choose to love their
neighbor. Our friend’s daughter goes to the university where she has Christian,
Muslim and Jewish friends. She chooses to love and be kind to them all. She
stays on guard, but she chooses to love and be friends with them. We realize
how unique of an opportunity it was to be invited to stay with an orthodox
family. Most Jews are still cautious of Christians due to the past. It was a
wonderful time with them and I am so grateful for the gift of being able to
develop what we hope will be a long friendship with this family. God has
definitely arranged an interesting thread of relationships! I look forward to
seeing what he is going to do. <br />
<br />

September 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2016- Day 10 </div>
We had such a great time with our friends and later we headed
over to Tiberias, where we would stay for several days and be near the <st1:place w:st="on">Sea of Galilee</st1:place>. When I saw the water I was so ecstatic.
We checked into the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Aliyah</st1:placename>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Return</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Center</st1:placetype></st1:place>,
where my older sister was apart of their program and helped to open the Israeli
division of Return Ministry. This ministry is based in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region> and they help the Jewish people return to
their home <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">land</st1:placetype>
of <st1:placename w:st="on">Israel</st1:placename></st1:place>--which is part
of prophesy. My older sister’s friend was still at the center so it was really
fun seeing her again. Everyone we ran into was like “are you Alexandra’s
family?” and some people even called her the “founding mother” of the center in
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
Our room was really nice and modern and the coffee shop next door has the best
coffee, lol <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
Once we settled in, we got ready and went to the congregation that my sister
attended when she was there for Erev Shabbat. The worship was so wonderful and
the message was really great and powerful. We then went back to the ARC (<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Aliyah</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Return</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">Center</st1:placetype></st1:place>) for a nice Erev
Shabbat dinner. We had delicious food, fun fellowship and several screaming
children (ha ha). <br />

I miss Jerusalem and my heart yearns to be there again soon. ❤️Kaila B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14719440407987895554noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713366386378469943.post-53819764479985304712016-12-22T10:09:00.003-08:002016-12-22T10:09:44.340-08:00August 30th and 31st- Days 7 and 8- Israel trip
August 30<sup>th</sup>+ 31<sup>st-</sup> Days 7 and 8. <br />
The 30th was our shopping day on <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Ben Yehuda Street</st1:address></st1:street>. If you ever come to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>, for
sure go to <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Ben Yehuda Street</st1:address></st1:street>
for gifts, some history and just fun. We shopped in about 15 stores, bought a
lot of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>things, we bargained a lot--since
that’s just what Israelis do, ha ha--, and ate at a Kosher McDonalds. There are
many different languages, people and cultures there which was fun to
experience. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Day 8 a cat that kept us company every morning for breakfast
jumped on the table, stole my chocolate croissant and ate the whole thing! It
was so funny! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
Afterwards, we went to a ministry called Bridges for Peace where they reach out
to the Jewish people by serving with 14 humanitarian ventures, including doing
home repairs and painting, installing hand rails through the hilly city,
operating the food bank, helping non-Israeli Jews make Aliyah to Israel etc.
Their purpose is for the Christian people to create a bridge to the Jewish
people. They aren’t in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
to aggressively evangelize the Jewish people but to serve them and love them. Of
course, when it is appropriate, and they are asked, they explain that they want
to share God’s love and plan with them and share the good news of Yeshua
(Jesus). We received a wonderful tour around the Bridges base and met lots of
sweet people. One of the ladies recognized us and asked “were you at Sukkat
Hallel <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the other night?” She remembered <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that we had asked directions from group of
friends that night. They seemed like angels that night because we were lost and
they directed us to the right place. God sure does bring people in your life at
the right time. With several Isralies we have met we mentioned Bridges for
Peace. Each time, the person spoke favorably of Bridges. Over their 25 years of
service, BFP has done a great job serving and creating relationships with the
Jewish people and are indeed building “bridges” by putting Christians in a new
and favorable light. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Next, we visited the Garden Tomb where Yeshua is said to
have been buried. When you first enter, it is so beautiful with all the
flowers, pomegranates etc. The garden is very beautiful with numerous types of
flowers and trees. It is quiet and a great place for meditation and reflection.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We headed to Skull Hill where possibly
Yeshua was crucified. It sad now though because there is a dirty, busy, loud
Muslim bus station and prayer tower, beside the fencing of the tomb complex.
Then we went to the tomb. The original door was ruined when there was an
earthquake in the 1900’s but the tomb is still there. We don’t know for sure if
this was THE spot but it was pretty neat and special to go there. Walking
inside the cave or tomb was very surreal.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
On our way back to the hotel we stopped by a church called
“Living Bread International” where my older sister went to when we she went to
college. We had actually stopped by there before going to the Garden Tomb but
no one had answered. So we’re back and rang the door bell several times and no
body answered. My mom had silently prayed that we would be able to meet the
pastor there, Karen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right then and
there, there was Karen walking by. Karen is a very courageous and brave woman.
Her car has been blown up by terrorists, then those terrorists captured her,
held her captive and tried to kill her. We visited with Karen and toured the
lovely worship center. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago before this writing, the
church was burned/destroyed by that same group of terrorists and had earlier
tried to kill her. Karen’s trust in God is incredible. She still holds on to
God, and hears from him that she is still to love the enemies who are trying to
destroy her. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p>God kept having us meet special people during our trip. That
night our family had dinner in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>,
visited Moshe’s shop, and bought the best tasting ice-cream I have ever had. We
then walked down to the Western Wall for the last time --until we go to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> again.
My mom and I shed <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>some tears leaving
this special city. The city of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">David</st1:city></st1:place>.
The city where Yeshua spent time. No words or pictures can adequately describe
what this city does to a person’s soul. Next year in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>! </div>

The morning of the 28<sup>th</sup> our tour guide that is
with Christian Friends of Israeli Communities came to pick us up. So many spots
that we were driving past had history from the Bible. One mountain he pointed
out to us was where Jeraboam was talked about in 1 King 1. It amazed me that day
how much <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
is filled with history from the Bible and other times. There are also a lot of
hitch hikers along the road and because Israelies/Jews don’t want a bad Muslim
to pick them up and do something bad to them usually they try to pick a hitch
hiker up right away or a solider stands with the person. I thought that was so
thoughtful of the people here. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
When we were in Samaria, we visited the CFOIC headquarters
with the director Sandra, visited a lookout spot in her community, visited a
community fire and police station, and had lunch at a small building where a
man that used to be in the IDF opened up on one of the army bases. When the
owner was apart of the IDF there wasn’t a place at the base to sit down, eat
food, relax, watch tv etc. and that is why he opened up the restaurant. After
lunch, our friends Nick and Drew met up with us and we all piled into Mickey’s
car. Literally, my sister was on my lap and Drew was on top of Nick. We stopped
at an overlook at Har Bracah (Mount of Blessings). It was so cool to be on
there and see what it actually talks about in Deut. 11:29. We over looked the
tomb where Joseph is buried. You can’t go down there unless you have an IDF
solider with you and in the middle of the night because it is in a major
Muslim/ Arab village where they have had terrorist attacks. We also saw where
Jacob’s well is- under a mosque now. Then we went to the HaYovel base!!! After
so many years of my friends coming back and telling me all about HaYovel we
were finally able to go there for a short little bit. We saw a few of the
vineyards that they have planted. HaYovel is doing so many great things there,
and are assisting numerous farmers plant, prune, and harvest the vineyards. Here's their website: <a href="http://www.hayovel.com/">http://www.hayovel.com/</a> By doing
this, they are helping to contribute millions of dollars into the Israeli
economy and are truly blessing the land and people of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>. We saw
some of our friends from CO there, and met new and really nice people. When we
went to the HaYovel base I got a sense of joy. I just felt so overjoyed there!
The people were some of the friendliest people I have ever met and it just was
a huge blessing to finally be there.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p>We then toured a winery in the community of Har Bracha that
HaYovel brings some of the grapes to after harvesting. This Israeli winemaker
has received many international awards and they, along with other Israeli
vinemakers have beaten out some of the most popular award winning wine
companies, including ones from <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Across from the winery, was a daycare center
that we toured. All of these stops were to help us experience firsthand a
Jewish community. The area was thriving with homes, a school, community center,
library, stores, synagogue, police station and more. The people were delightful
to interact with. Hundreds of people lived in this one community that are part
of what the world calls, the “west bank” and wants eliminated. Hearing the
news, but seeing for ourselves are two different stories.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
We then went to <st1:place w:st="on">Shiloh</st1:place>. We
walked by walls that were actually there during the Bible, and saw where the
tabernacle stood. It was so incredible to see where the tabernacle was and
where God’s presence was a cloud in the day and fire by night. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Then we drove to a community called Bet-El where we went on
a tower to overlook the spot that Abraham saw when he came to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">land</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Isarel</st1:placename></st1:place> and God said “this is the land
that I am giving to you and your descendants forever.” Gen 3:15 and Deut. 1:8.
Then we drove past <st1:placename w:st="on">Hebrew</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype> where my sister went to college and
finally we went to the <st1:place w:st="on">Mount of Olives</st1:place>. We
overlooked all of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>
and saw where the temple mount is. We arrived there just in time too because
the sun was setting. Where we stood on the <st1:place w:st="on">Mount of Olives</st1:place>
is where a major Muslim area is located. I noticed in the Muslim/Arab towns the
people are rude, not considerate, and they only have their signs in Arabic. But
in the Jewish quarter they are friendly, kind, very clean, welcoming, they
aren’t yelling at you, and they put their signs in Hebrew, English and Arab so
they’re trying to create a welcoming environment for people. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Mickey dropped us off, we headed back toward the Old City of
Jerusalem. We saw the Western Wall all lit up and walked through the park to
Aroma. I love that the city comes alive at night. After we got our coffee we
went back to the park, saw children playing in the fountains and there was so
much laughter. That was such a great day and one of my favorites while in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>. </div>

That morning we joined a group called “Never be Silent” from
<st1:country-region w:st="on">Denmark</st1:country-region>, where we walked on
the Rampart walls of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:city></st1:place>
to pray over the city and the people. We started at Jaffa Gate then went around
all the way to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Zion</st1:place></st1:city>’s
gate. Isaiah 62:6 kept coming to mind while doing the walk. It was amazing to
be walking the walls of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>
just as the watchmen had done. We prayed Isaiah 61:10-11, and 62:1-11 over <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>. The guide for
the walk was saying that this wasn’t a prayer walk but a time to speak/read His
Word over the city and also proclaiming it back to God, reminding God of his
promises and covenant to the people. It says in His Word to remind God of His
word. This walk was a great experience and so meaningful. It really touched my
heart. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Afterwards we headed to a restaurant where the Jewish owners
treat the “Never Be Silent groups” with pastries. Many of us also had fresh
squeezed pomegranate juice or coffee along with our chocolate croissants at a
café. Israeli’s squeeze all their juice so it is always fresh and tasty. <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> has the
best, richest tasting pomegranates ever! Our family then headed to Yad Vashem
(the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Holocaust</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Museum</st1:placetype></st1:place>). The lady at the front desk told
us that it means a lot to see when Americans come to show their support and
love. Israeli’s just want peace and unity. They don’t want war and killing
anymore; they just want peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Visiting
Yad VaShem is one of the main things I wanted to do while there in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>. I had
so many tearful <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>moments there. The
pictures, recordings, stories and more hurt me. Seeing the actual clothes and
shoes that were worn by people who died there was heart breaking. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These were actual people that actually
experienced the Holocaust. Videos of children who survived and are now very old,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>told the stories of the many horrors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How could such terrible things happen to innocent,
loving people… people in general? It is shocking that there are groups trying
to use propaganda and say that the Holocaust never existed. What a horror in
itself. We saw the proof! While at the museum there were about 80 IDF soldiers
touring around. It meant a lot to see the military paying their respects to the
people that passed many many years ago. It makes me so sad and angry when
Muslims say the holocaust never happened because the evidence is there. One
moment that made me cry at the end was a room full of books that each had a
Hebrew name on them. There were thousands of books in there of people who had
passed and these weren’t even all of the 6 million people who were murdered,
just because of their ethnicity! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It made
me broken hearted but I remembered that God knew each of their names, their
thoughts, the joyous movements and their really hard moments, and He knew how
many hairs were on each of their heads. Even though it was hard going through
the museum, it was needed and it has placed more love for these precious people
on my heart. If you ever go to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
I highly suggest to tour at Yad Vashem. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
After the museum, we drove to try to find King of Kings
Congregation ,where some of our new <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>friends/contacts go. We found the street so we
knew we were close but couldn’t find parking-which is a challenge in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem-</st1:place></st1:city> so we missed
the service and connecting up with our contacts. This was our only time to not
be successful in getting where we were attempting to be, so I guess it wasn’t
meant to be. However, I was really looking forward to going there … especially
for the worship.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
This day was a full and great day. We experienced many
emotions- both extreme highs and extreme lows that all impacted our hearts and
began to unite our hearts with the Jewish people and the nation of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region></st1:place>.</div>

Shabbat! *insert deep breath* Shabbat in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city> is incredible! There are mostly no
cars driving- except Arab ones. You can hear birds chirping, families laughing
and it is so nice. We really slept in that day since we arrived home so late, and
also took naps. Shabbat there was one of the most wonderful Shabbats I have
ever had. Later at night our family walked through the city, even through an
Arab area to a 24/7 –sort of hidden- Christian worship center called Sukkat Hallel.
It was kind of like IHOP- International House of Prayer. The worship there was
only 1 guy who was alright but I think if they had someone different there, plus
someone who spoke better English, it would’ve been more meaningful. Sukkat Hallel’s
center overlooked <st1:city w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:city>, including the Mount
of Olives and the City of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">David</st1:place></st1:city>.
The sun was going down so the colors on the city were amazing. The colors
everywhere you walk are incredible. Wish I had brought my fancier camera on the
trip. </div>

all the shops open, honking horns start up and the life in the city wakes up.
We were walking around in the dark and I did get a little nervous with that. We
grabbed some dinner, and grabbed some coffee -- at 9:30 pm, ha ha. We met a
family from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Florida</st1:state></st1:place>
at the coffee shop whose son was starting a YWAM program the next day. The
conversation with them really up lifted me that night. I had some feelings
going on that I was struggling with that day and when we met them God lifted the
pack from my shoulders. Another God sent moment. He is so good!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">As fall is finally here, many things come to mind for the season. The beauty of the falling colorful leaves, changing colors, pumpkins, warm fires, and nice smells. For a lot of people Halloween comes to mind. For my family and me Halloween will pass by today and we will have nothing to do with it. People always ask me, “Why don’t you celebrate Halloween?” You also may be thinking, “what’s the problem with a little candy and dressing up in costumes?” So many people think this is a harmless holiday on October 31st and some people think, “Oh, I’m not doing anything bad. I’m just dressing up and getting free candy.” But there are also many people who are taking advantage of this "holiday" and dressing in skimpy outfits, having parties that are mostly filled of drinking, scaring each other etc. People also use this time to put out terrible decorations on their porches and scare the people who walk by. Why would YOU want to participate in a "holiday" like this? A "holiday" that isn't life giving and that celebrates death instead of, well, life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" itemprop="description articleBody" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" itemprop="description articleBody" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">My parents decided to stop celebrating Halloween years before I was born. They didn’t want their children participating in a dark <st1:place w:st="on">Holiday</st1:place> practically celebrating the devil and death. Everywhere you walk at this time of year there are caskets in people’s front yards, large spiders, witches, Frankenstein, mummies etc. My parents started a tradition with my older siblings before I was born and we continue to do it every year. Our family picks out our own candy, spends a night in a hotel, we usually go swimming, play games, and watch a movie. We try to keep our minds focused on Yeshua (Jesus) and happiness instead of dark, death, and the devil. We look forward to our fall family get away. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have been reading on this topic of not celebrating Halloween and I have found a TON of things that I have never known before. The information that I am about to share is from several sources. Thank you to these wise women who are wiling to speak candidly, by going against the culture…even among Christians. One writer is a stay-at-home mom, Christian blogger and from her blog, ‘Raisingsoldiers4christ.com. She writes in her blog, ‘Why we don’t participate in Halloween’ “Why is it ok one day a year to dip into the dark side? To scare small children? To be in or place a casket in your yard? If these behaviors can’t be done every other day of the year why this one day? I am sure that most people who send their children out Trick or Treating, are not trying to get in touch with their dark side. However, one cannot escape the fact of what Halloween is, it’s roots, and what it stands for. The Bible tells us to stay away from all forms of darkness. It tells us to think on what is good and pure and lovely. We can’t be on both sides of the fence. Halloween does not match up to Philippians 4:8 or 1 Thessalonians 5:22.”<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>

<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Albert Mohler, an American theologican wrote an article last year that really sums up many thoughts that people may have on this subject “ While affirming that make-believe and imagination are part and parcel of God’s gift of imagination. Christians should still be very concerned about the focus of that imagination and creativity… Christian parents should make careful decisions based on biblically informed Christian conscience. Some Halloween practices are clearly out of bounds, others may be strategically transformed, but this takes hard work and may meet with mixed success. The coming of Halloween is a good time for Christians to remember that evil spirits are real and that the devil will size every opportunity to trumpet his own celebrity. Martin Luther commented: “ The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to tests of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him for he cannot bear scorn.” Lets put the dark side on the defensive.”</span></div>

<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">My dad shared with me the other day when I brought this topic up with him that he heard something recently, “ We’re always telling our children not to except candy from strangers and not to walk up to people they don’t know and yet on October 31st we tell our children to go up to complete strangers and except candy from them. What is wrong with this picture?” <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">My other resource is from heartofwisdom.com from Robin Sampson. “God and His Word are referred to as light. Halloween is in darkness and mischief, and false parading about under disguise, often evil and scary costumes. Halloween is not just a time for cornstalks, pumpkins, apples and cute and not-so-cute costumes. There is much, much more. Our God is a jealous God demanding exclusive devotion (Exodus 20:5.) Do you think He cares if you encourage your children to partake in a holiday that honors Satan, the god of this world? <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Halloween’s History: Halloween’s roots come from the ancient Colts, a tribe living about 2,000 years ago in the areas that are now <st1:country-region w:st="on">Ireland</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Great Britain</st1:country-region>, and northern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">France</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Halloween was their main holiday a festival that honored the end of the harvest. The celebration marked the season of cold, decay, and darkness. The custom of wearing costume and masks, was an attempt to copy the spirits or placate them. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yearbook of English Festival by Dorothy Gladys Spicer says:<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">“ All Halloween, with its tradition of witches, ghosts, hobgoblins and spirits, its games and incantation, still is a gay time for pranks and parties in many North country homes. Fun-loving Americans have borrowed from their British ancestors many Halloween games such as apple-bobbing, nut roasting and tossing of apple parings. Transplanted to the <st1:place w:st="on">New World</st1:place> soil, the old practices have become revitalized, and currently are observed with more enthusiasm than in the country of their birth… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Halloween in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region>: Because of Christianity among so many of the Puritan settlers, Halloween celebrations were not celebrated until the 1800’s when several immigrants from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Ireland</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scotland</st1:place></st1:country-region> introduced their Halloween customs. They brought various beliefs about ghosts and witches with them. Other groups added their own cultural influences to Halloween customs. German immigrants brought a vivid witchcraft lore, and Haitian and African peoples brought their native voodoo beliefs about black cats, fire, and witchcraft. All Saints Day, a day the seventh century church set aside for remembering early Christians who died for their beliefs, was first celebrated in the month of May. By the year 900 the date was combined with the pagan rituals to be celebrated November 1. Another name for All Saints Day was All Hallows. October 31 was known as All Hallows Eve which was shortened to Halloween. The church made a grave mistake trying to combine pagan worship with Christianity. This is not scriptural! Because of that unwise decision, Halloween remains a holiday in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> today. Scriptures warn us that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the third and fourth generations. This pagan belief, even celebrated by Christian churches, celebrates the union of gods and a goddess in the universe that supposedly control the seasons, bring fertility to crops and animals, and bestow magical powers on their followers.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What does the Bible say about celebrating Halloween: Although the Bible doesn’t specifically mention Halloween by name, it makes it very clear that the origins and practices of Halloween (adapting pagan customs or borrowing the ways of those who worship a false god and using them to worship the true God) are detestable to God. </span><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2012:29-32&version=31"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #cc3300;">Deuteronomy 12:29-32</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">. The Bible clearly teaches us to say “no” to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Ephesians 5:1 tells us to be imitators of God. Our Lord Jesus would not go to a party to honor the feast of the Samhain. Moses did not come down from <st1:place w:st="on">Mount Sinai</st1:place> and combine the Israelites Passover holiday with the idol worship that was going on. Allowing children to dress as witches and sorcerers or hanging evil decorations in our windows is imitating that which is evil.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">temple</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">God</st1:placename></st1:place> with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people. Therefore Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The verse says, “come out from among them, says the Lord.” Does that mean come out from among them–but don’t deprive your children from all that fun and candy — celebrate the same pagan ritual in your church building? The Bible is very clear about Christians being involved in such celebrations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Halloween is more than childish fun. Witches have eight special holidays during the year. Halloween is their day above all days. Witchcraft is not child’s play. It is an abomination to the Lord. Johanna Michaleson, former occultist and author of The Beautiful Side of Evil said, “For a true Christian to participate in the ancient trappings of Halloween is as incongruous as for a committed Satanist coming from blood sacrifices on Christmas Eve to set up a nativity scene in his living room singing Silent Night, Holy Night with sincere devotion to baby Jesus!” One thing Halloween should not be for the Christian is a time of fear. It should be a time to rejoice in the fact that The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:8). This is a time of spiritual warfare. October 31 should be spent in prayer for the community and children; a time of worship by singing praise to the Lord. This can be a good time to teach our children to sacrifice by not sharing in the rituals because you love the Lord. Whatever your family decides to do on this day, ask yourself, “Does it glorify the Lord?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">…they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. Leviticus 17:7.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="description articleBody">
<br /><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know this is a lot of information about this ungodly holiday on October 31st, but I hope that it will open your eyes and give you a new perspective on the subject. My biggest concern is that Christians have accepted this holiday without questioning it, and asking whether they should take part, even with less scary activities (like participating in "Trunk of Treat" in your church parking lot). Thank you for stopping by and reading my thoughts and many other people thoughts on this. Feel free to comment down below on what you think about Halloween. Please keep in mind that these are my thoughts, if you disagree with them that is totally fine. I hope you have a blessed day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

An elegant young woman playing the harp in Jaffa gate. My aunt and uncle, brother-in-law, older sister, lots of my friends and other people (plus a magazine) have taken pictures of this same woman. Apparently she sits here every day playing the harp. I promise this is the photo I took.<br />

Jewish people don't use electricity or go on electronics during Shabbat so I wanted to respect that once the sun went down and when we were in our Shabbat of a lifetime hosts house. Sorry I didn't get any pictures of our lovely dinner and view on their roof.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
After another wonderful breakfast, for the morning, we<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>went to the Western wall (the Kotel) for the
Kotel tunnel tour – which is underneath the western wall. I felt very safe
there especially because there are police and IDF soldiers everywhere. Our tour
in the Kotel tunnel was so fascinating and our tour guide was so funny. She
even made a couple of jokes about Sound of Music and not a lot of people got
the joke because there were very few Americans there. She was Jewish and was
originally from <st1:state w:st="on">Wisconsin</st1:state>, but made Aliyah to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> 10 years
ago. This might seem silly but I never was really interested in the Western
Wall before and I didn’t know why so many Jews cling to that wall. Well, on the
tour I found out the western wall (especially one spot in the tunnel) is about
a size of a football field about from where the Holy of Holies was located and
the Jewish people want to be as close to God as possible. A majority of the
tunnel is located under the Muslim quarter and we couldn’t do one part of the
tour because it was Friday and that is the Muslim’s day of prayer so they had
it locked off. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
That trip, and even more on the third day, we had so many
unfathomable moments that I don’t think I could ever express how my heart was
touched. After the tour, went to pray at the Western Wall. Men and women are
separated by a wall. My dad went to the men side and mom, my sister and I all
headed to the ladies side for the Western Wall to pray. I wish we had more time
there to pray and read our Bibles but the time that we did have was so special
and meaningful. God really spoke to my heart there and many more places in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Although
the wall is a special place to be, I am so thankful that I can experience
fellowship with God any time, any where because of my relationship to God
through the blood of Yeshua. </div>
<br />
We had lunch again in the Jewish Quarter and we went to a
shop where my mom asked a lady for help with her phone. Mom also wanted to
confirm directions to a meeting spot for later in the day, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that we were to meet our hosts for our Shabbat
dinner at “Shabbat of a Lifetime”. The Jewish lady had made Aliyah to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">New
York</st1:state></st1:place> so she spoke <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>English very well. She let us try to call our
hosts on her phone and she told us exactly where to go because she lived only
two doors down from our designated meeting spot with our hosts. She was so
sweet and we were thankful for her sweetness and kindness. We later changed in
our nice clothes for Shabbat and headed out on our walking adventure to the meet
up place. All the Jewish people were out walking in their nice clothing to the
synagogues and there were barely any cars out driving around since Jews don’t
drive on Shabbat and we were at sundown. We came to the possible destination,
in the dark, alone-wondering and hoping this was the spot, although we were the
only tourists there. Then behold comes down the road our dear new friend that
we had met in the shop to make sure we were ok and safe. She had such a
thoughtful and concerned heart! We kept telling her that she was our Guardian
angel. The Israeli’s we interacted with were all so kind and all of them have
such a communal relationship with each other. I immediately felt like most
people around me, even if I didn’t now them, were my family. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Our host eventually came and we went to their lovely home.
Having Shabbat dinner with an orthodox Jewish couple was very unique and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>special. I’ve never done that before so it was
a memorable experience. The food was amazing, and the company was great. One of
the Jewish ladies was asking us a lot of our beliefs, how we do Shabbat,
celebrate the feasts etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet she knew
we are Christians because we believe in Yeshua—yet we were sensitive in how and
how much we spoke of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this. We are trying
to build bridges with people who are Jewish and hopefully put a new face of
Christianity before them. We shared <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>our many
beliefs and observances of the Torah—so much that she said, “Are you sure
you’re not Jewish?” She was confused but I hope we started a little flame of curiosity
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>within her. In Romans, it talks about
provoking the Jews to jealousy. I think this happens, when there are Believers
in Yeshua following<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the commandments,
even more faithfully than many Jews do, and showing great love and acceptance
of our Jewish brethren. There are many secular Jews who <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are 2x a year synagogue-goer Jews who observe
Passover and Yom Kippur just like there are 2x a year church goers that only go
on Easter and Christmas. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our hosts
however, were very observant, Orthodox Jews though not the ultra –orthodox with
black coats, hats, and curls. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the
dinner, even though we have a different belief system than them, different view
on politics we could all still talk with love. Sharing our believes freely and
even though there’s the sad history of destruction of Jews in the name of
Christianity<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>during the Crusades and
Holocaust they had so much acceptance and love towards us. It was so nice.
After dinner they took us up on their roof top and we had an amazing view of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>. We saw everything
up there… it was incredible and breath taking. What a lovely night it was and a
great experience. We headed back to our hotel at 2:30am… Jews sure do love to
fellowship on Shabbat. It was great! </div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
August 25<sup>th</sup>, 2016 – Day 2 in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I’m deciding that I’m going to be blogging very loosely
about this trip. It takes a lot of time to give play by play but also I’m just wanting
to get through the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region></st1:place>
travels and start a new kind of “series” of blog posts. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
What a big day it
was! At the end of the day our feet were burning, our bodies were so tired but
we had a great day. A funny thing happened at breakfast that day. I selected a
croissant and eggs for breakfast, set it outside and headed back inside for my
tea. I came back onto the patio and there was this huge crow that had eaten
almost all of my eggs and there was a table of little birds around. It was so
funny and I for sure learned my lesson! At breakfast we would watch other
people do the same thing and come back to their plate with parts of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>their breakfast gone… it was so funny! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
The breakfast was so elegant and huge. It was the nicest breakfast I’ve ever
had at a hotel. While reading in my Bible that morning I kept reading verses
about the <st1:placetype w:st="on">mountain</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Israel</st1:placename> and <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>
and I was so excited. The Bible came so alive during this trip. It was
incredibly special. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
That day we walked pretty much everywhere. If you’ve been to
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
before you probably know how much walking there is, ha ha! Oh, and there are so
many cats on the road. Someone told us that when the British came they brought
cats to take care of the mice problem. Now that they have taken care of that
problem, they have all these cats wondering around. At the City of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">David</st1:place></st1:city> we met up with a
group and toured around the city. We learned so much during this tour and the
Bible really came alive. The ruins were incredible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just kept imagining David walking the roads.
Looking over on the valleys I kept imagining King David, King Hezekiah, etc.
walking the roads and hills. We then hiked down to this area where
archaeologist think they might of found King David’s palace’s It had an amazing
view of the city and valleys. Plus the original walls were still there, pillars
and a stone with a design on it that is on the 5 shekel piece of money. It was
really cool to be standing over a palace from 2,000 years ago and it was KING
DAVID’S! It was great walking past places that are mentioned in the Bible.
After a lot of hiking around we eventually entered Hezekiah’s tunnel where, we
had been warned, could have water up to 2 ½ feet high. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water was SO cold when we first entered! Then,
it felt like nice mountain water which was actually refreshing after hiking in
the hot sun. It was amazing to be walking through the same tunnel that people
from the Bible walked in; the same walls and writings that were from the time
of the Bible. It was such a cool feeling. It was so great to be there with my
family and to need flashlights as we walked through the dark cold tunnel. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p>That morning when we had been walking to the City of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">David</st1:place></st1:city>, we passed two
Bar-mitzvah parades and a wedding that were all happening at the same time near
the Western wall which was so cool and joyful! We had lunch in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Old</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">City</st1:placetype></st1:place>
of the Jewish Quarter with wonderfully tasting Israeli food. The smells, sounds,
people and tastes there are incredible! I always had so much joy walking the stone
streets there. Our family then visited the Temple Institute where we took a
tour. This was such a cool experience and amazing to think that the things in
the cases that have been created according to His word are being saved for the
next temple. These were the actual things… not demonstrations. Afterwards we
visited a shopping area <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>below the main
streets of the Jewish Quarter in <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:city></st1:place>. There were
pillars from the time of the Bible and beautiful murals. It’s inspiring to
think that the original pillars, walls, roads, bricks etc. were right below our
feet. Because <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:city></st1:place>
has been attacked/destroyed many times they have had to keep building up the
walls and the city. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
After dinner and adventuring around we visited a shop that
HaYovel usually visits. The owners name is Moshe and he was such a kind, loving
Jewish man. Boy was he so wise! He talked with us for about an hour and I
learned so much from him. He was so interesting to listen to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and we enjoying supporting his shop. We’ve
been asking what the Israeli’s would like us to tell people <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>back to America and all they have said is, “Please
tell people to come and see for themselves what a wonderful country this is.
The news is not reported accurately. Let people know there that all we want is
peace. We welcome everyone. ” </div>
