Okay so this morning was awesome because I slept through the
night for the second time since getting here. I’m still waiting to catch up on
sleep! Hikes have been amazing so far and just eating healthy is general is so
awesome! I love it!
Well we went to church today in Jerusalem and loved it! Love
the Pastor and the people! I continue to be amazed at God’s goodness and love (as
I should be)! A verse that I read last night has just been sticking in my head.
It is Psalm 46:10-11. I didn’t really exegete the passage or anything but it is
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will
be exalted in the Earth! The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our
fortress.” Like to me it just brought me to praise the Lord. Sometimes I get so
caught up in my little life and it is good just to stop all that I am doing and
remember that God is God and that He is in control. He is so mighty and I don’t
deserve the salvation that He has so freely given! To God be the glory!
Oh, after church we went into the Old City, inner Jerusalem
is the best way I can describe it, and we just explored and shopped around! It was
awesome! I haven’t bought anything yet but I can’t wait to get a wraparound
skirt still!
When we got back from Jerusalem I talked with some of the
girls in our group and then went on a run with my roommate! All of us are so
determined to get in shape! After the run, we got ready real fast and went to
dinner! Okay and then the best part…. After dinner was SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE! It was
so much fun and we just played games and then it was Bill’s birthday so we had
cake! After that, we went into the Miklat and played a game called Empire and
it was so fun! Also I just feel like I am really starting to get to know a lot
of the group better! It is so fun! The more I get to know them, the more
excited I am that I get to spend 3 months with them! Well tonight was fun and I’m
so happy with the people I get to room with and I just love them! Also it is
like 1 am here and I need to sleep, so I am not going to edit this. I apologize
in advance for any punctuation or spelling errors! Israel is amazing! Also
tomorrow we are going to go do extra credit for our Archaeology class by going
to a museum and writing a paper afterward! I’m excited! I will inform you more
about life at IBEX tomorrow! But for now Shalom and goodnight!
