Israel: the trip of a lifetime!

Mein front of our hotel in Jerusalem

Okay, I admit it; I’m probably one of the only Christians I know that never had a burning desire to visit the Holy Land! But when the opportunity arrived this year, for some reason, I could not stop feeling like I should go. With everything that was going on in my life at the time, it was a difficult decision but with the help of Holy Spirit, I found the courage and the resources to go on the trip. I’m glad that I went; it was a life changing experience. I will never be able to read my bible the same again! Every time that I see or hear the name of a location that we visited while in the Holy Land, I get excited, it is more real to me now. Now I know that every Christian should make that trip, walk where Jesus walked and enjoy the culture and the people. I can still hear the guide’s voice in my mind explaining the details of passages in the Word that increased my interest and helped me to realize the depth of the meaning when put into the context of the culture! Wow. I took so many pictures and after sharing some of them on Facebook, I realized that it wasn’t enough so I decided to blog about the amazing experience and share the photos while being true to what God has called me to do at the same time!
