Day 24 in Israel






24 days in Israel, it feels so weird to live here. Almost surreal in a way, like "oh my goodness that's where _______ lived or did this or that". I thank God every day because this is such a huge blessing to be living here. I also want to thank all of you who have been praying for me, it's such a blessing. If you guys need prayer just Facebook me and let me know.

The Day:

So today we went to Beth-Shan, and let me tell you it was incredible. It has to be one of the few places in the world that is in such good condition (of course I'm talking about the ruins). This was the cities Joshua defeated, later it would hold the dead, beheaded body of king Saul, David would take it back and Solomon would make it one of the 12 important cities in Israel. It was so very cool walking around and imagining what took place. After Beth-Shan we were going to go to a water park and got lost and when we finally found it, it was closed. It was a major disappointment, we were looking forward to it because it was so hot; however, a guy told us that 2 kilometers away there was another water park. So we decided to go for it, little did we know when we got there that it was a private community. The Lord blessed us with a man that lived there seeing us and after talking with us. He said that we could be his guest and go swimming! It was so beautiful, the water was cooled and a beautiful turquoise color.

Something that the LORD showed me while i was walking back from the central bus station was, He wants to hear from me. I was walking/praying just talking with God as I was going and asking questions and prayer for people. It was a supernatural experience, because I was like "GOD SHOW ME SOMETHING!" and when i got done saying that all I heard was the sound of chirping crickets. It was amazing I in all honesty could not explain to the fullest typing or for that matter speaking it either.
