Illumoonations to meet up with their
contact. We traveled this past weekend
around Israel with our contact who is so incredibly brilliant and knows so much
about the Holy Land. He showed us to
Masada, En Gedi (where David hid away from Saul) and all around the Sea of
Galilee where so much of Jesus’ ministry too place. It was neat to be able to be in those places
and to see some of the land where God’s son literally walked.
have thought that the sightseeing would be my favorite part but it wasn’t. The last day we split off in our two vans to
get home and deliver people to where they needed to go. Our van found some CDs in the glove box and
we began to explore them. With each new
song we belted out the words that we knew and came up with tons of motions and
silly things just like any great road trip. We don’t really get the
opportunity to be in our own vehicles on the race so it was even more fun to
get to navigate and explore Israel on our own.
As we began to drop the team off around Mt. Tabor I was
unsure why I was so sad, then it clicked I go home in 11 days. I hadn’t really thought too much about going
home because this is just what I have done for the past five months. I love doing life with the June Squad. Even in some of the most challenging things I
have ever gone through I have still loved being out here with this squad. It is not the places that make bring me joy
IT IS THE PEOPLE!!! I love seeing God
change the lives of these people and getting to play a small part in it. I know that Christ had only 12 disciples so
that he could pour so much into their lives in such a short time. I love being able to pour out into the people
around me.
One team asked me if I would like to stay here with them and
just be on their team for the next six months; I really had to think through
it! At this point it seems like it would
be easier to just keep on with this race. I know what I am doing, I know the people and who doesn’t want to go to
Africa. BUT that is not what I am called
to do. I was called out here to lead, train,
empower and leave these people to learn and that is what I must do. It is time for me to head back â€Ŕhomeâ€� for
however long I am there. I will get to
come back out and debrief this squad at some point and that excites me!
Back to the ledge of the cliff where God likes to keep me,
this way when he says to jump I am ready!
support me with $50 to complete my goal by the 29th of this month
OCTOBER! Please give to the glory of
God. SHALOM!
