Today was a slower day, naturally, as it was Shabbat, but yet it was chocked with so much goodness! We traveled to the close-by Kiryat Yearim, which is an area that the Ark of the Covenant was kept (anyone else hear John Williams in the distance?). We had a great lesson from Arie, who does…
11/4- Masada and the Dead Sea
Today was our first day outside of Jerusalem! A person described today as more of a “fun” day than a “Biblical” day, which I agreed with. I most certainly appreciated the less rushed pace and getting to enjoy interacting with so many different people from our group! They’re kinda really great! It’s amazing how quickly…
11/3- Jerusalem Trip #3
Today, we spent most of the day in the City of David, which is also called the Old City. We walked through the Zion Gate at one point, which if you see the holes throughout the wall, know that is not the result of being old…it’s the result of being shot at (during the Six…
11/2- Jerusalem Trip #2
The trip has started out strong and is maintaining! I’ve tried to divvy up my meal time and travel time among the different people on the trip to either catch up or get to know one another! It’s great getting to further expand my circle of peeps and to hear the stories of the new-to-me…
11/1- Jerusalem Trip #1
This was my view this morning from my room’s balcony at Yad HaShmona. Not too bad, am I right? The weather was perfect, so I enjoyed reading my Bible on the balcony as I watched and heard the world wake up. Breakfast was one of my favorite meals of the day today! Fresh yogurt, a…
10/30-31- Israel…Round 2
Well, ladies and gents. Here we are again! I am officially in Israel once more! For those have followed the blog for a while, you’ll recall I first came to the country back in 2019 and had a marvelous, enriching time. I had the desire to return again one day, but didn’t know if/when the…
20/24- Not Much to Tell, but Some
Last week (and this most of this week) were filled with good things, but not very fun or exciting things, like studying for my Fetal Echo boards! I finally took it Saturday, but I won’t know the results for 60-ish days, so only time will tell! My days had been spent (for what felt like…
18/24- Friends from Afar!
This long weekend was an absolute blast! I attended a conference in Jacksonville, FL with friends from Fort Bragg! The conference was for all the southeast military Nav ministries, which meant I got to see SO many friends from over the years! I got to ride down with several women from the chapel Bible study,…
17/24- Worlds Collide Again!
What. A. Whirlwind! Let me tell you, friends. Life sure isn’t boring! Starting off with Tuesday afternoon. I came out of my room after scanning a patient and saw this note on my co-worker’s computer, which sits right next to mine at the same work station. Now, mind you, no one has the name Laura…
16/24- Learning and People-ing
I got to hang with my Raleigh-based friend, Hilary, again! We hadn’t seen each other since the 4th of July rally (and even then, that was brief). We met up after I got off work at a restaurant close by to my workplace. It was a place new to us both and we had a…
