Come... Visit My Land...

My friend... Thelma... has a wonderful opportunity coming up... that most people could only wish and dream for. She will be leaving for a trip to Israel on Saturday of this week. For a Christian... that's a big WOW!

To walk on the same ground that Jesus may have walked on... what an honor!

I believe that I would be in tears the whole time I would be there if I were to go. To be in the place... where all of my faith and beliefs... has foundation.

Part of me worries about her... but I gave that over to the Lord. He was, however, the one who invited her... so He will protect her.

I am asking for prayers for her... and the group of ladies she will be with. I pray that all war will stop during their visit to the Holy Land. I pray that they will all come home safely so they can share every moment with those of us who may never have this opportunity for themselves. I pray that they will feel the presence of the Lord in all they do... as if He himself... were the tour guide.

I hope you have fun, Thelma! This is such an honor!

What I would give to touch the very earth that my Savior touched so many years ago. To run my fingers through the waters that Jesus himself was baptized in.

~... Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a new into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him. Mark 1:14-18~

Oh... to walk in those places...
