So, this week we got our itineraries and I realized something this morning as I was reading some of the assigned reading that our guides have given us to prepare us for our trip to Israel:
Bethany & I will be in Israel in less than 2 weeks!! When we signed up last year, it seemed like the day would never arrive, and now, I'm scrambling to make sure everything here is set in place for me to be out of the office for the month!
Right now, I am walking in my home town, to stores I normally go to, and places I normally see, as well as seeing family and friends who are important in my life. In about 2 WEEKS I will be walking in Jesus's hometown, to villages he shopped at, places he frequented, and visiting those amazing places that I have always heard so much about through His word!
Bethany and I will be walking the streets of Bethlehem, standing atop the fortress at Masada, swimming in the Dead Sea, and sitting on the same slopes where Jesus gave the sermon on the mount!!
I've always wanted to go to Israel, and with the support of everyone here at Bauer, my wish is coming true, and I get to share this experience with Bethany!! Not only will I come back excited to share this new outlook on the Bible I'm sure I will have, but I will have Bethany to share it with, and together we can share this experience with everyone who has supported Bethany through this process, and both of us through prayers, and thoughts!
Shalom!
Katy
