Hey! So I know I haven’t posted for forever, but I am still
here and alive! :) This week on Monday and Tuesday was mainly a day of classes
and reading and library and studying. It has been a crazy week that came to an
early end! It is Thursday night and the weekend for us because tomorrow is
Beach Day! On Wednesday, which was yesterday, we went on a Jerusalem New
Testament hike and saw many important archaeological sites and also visited the
Temple Mount. The Dome of the Rock was really cool to see! It was a long day
and it has definitely been a long week. Women’s Bible Study was Tuesday morning
of this week and it was like exactly what I needed to hear. I had just been
talking with my roommate about devotions that morning and then our topic in
Bible Study was devotions! So funny and cool! God knew exactly what I needed to
hear. It is a wonderful reminder to meditate on the Word of the Lord! It is
definitely amazing to be in the Holy Land, which is the context of that Word,
but if I am not in the Word then it is no good! So that is exciting and I am so
glad to be with people who have the same desire to love and serve our risen
Lord!
Today which is Thursday, we had a quiz in Archaeology and it
is really interesting to learn about excavations and other such things that
have taken place in this land over hundreds of years, but I must admit that I
am glad the quiz is over. It is nice to just relax and breathe without worrying
about information leaking out of my brain.
I am daily blessed by the relationships I have made in IBEX
and love spending time with each and every one of them! I am truly happy and
thankful that I can say that! We have an amazing group and all of us have been
talking about Beach Day all week! Everyone is going: the IBEX group, our
professors, their families, and maybe even other people! Cannot wait! God has
richly blessed each and every one of us! Hodu l’Adonai ki tov!
