I've been praying that the fervor that I experienced will not fade or become just another passing thing that dims with time. I close my eyes and make myself envision the Golan Heights, the vast land spread out like a blanket under the canopy of Heaven, I read Will's book every day so that I will not forget the struggle of my Jewish brethren. I hear Zvi's voice in my head and feel his frustration. I see Joni with her passion and zeal, and the pain that she carries in her heart. I just can't come back to the U.S. and not do something, say something. I have to believe that there was purpose in my making a trip that in reality was only a remote possibility. Truly God is not only with Israel, He is Israel. For those who think that there is no way that they will ever be able to make the journey, God can make a way. He wants us to know truth and to carry that truth to others, to dispel untruths.

I feel like I am suppose to live there. When I read your blog I feel homesick for some reason. Some think I'm silly. My husband thinks I should get tested to see if I am part Jewish. He can't explain why I'm so fanatical about Israel. It's a theory anyway. God may have just given me a heart for the land. I believe that's a good thing. Israel needs her friends where ever she can find them. So I pray and hope, if not in this life, the next---I will get to see Israel as you get to. Have fun, learn more, and know we are praying for you. Shalom I feel such a pull to Israel. I don’t understand it. I feel like I am suppose to live there.

I can smell the roses and taste the coffee. May you be richly blessed in your meditations on the God of Israel.
