It is amazing here. After dinner, and what a dinner it was, Rebecca Bauer and Kimberly Dirmann our hostesses introduced themselves and their team. They prepared us for tomorrow where we will visit Joppa where Jonah set sail and the site of Peter raising Tabitaha from the dead. Her name means "gazelle" so Rebecca exhorted us to expect the Lord to resurrect dead places in us--hopes, dreams, etc. Then we can run with "hinds feet for high places" with joy. We will also be by the Sea of Galilee in Tiberius tomorrow night and see not only Nazereth but also Megiddo, the site of the last battle, Armageddon.
This is Rebecca's 13th trip to Israel but her first "all women's tour". She received a wonderful healing in this land after the unexpected death of her husband eight years ago. So she is expecting great things for all of us. Mostly that since we have "come away" we will experience the presence of our heavenly bridegroom, Jesus.
There are 47 of us from Arizona, Washington, Idaho, Texas, Nevada, California, and New York. It will be fun to get to know some of the other ladies. Wake up call at 6 then on the bus by 8 for the tour. We will worship together on the bus. Then our very knowledgable Jewish tour guide, Anat, will give us the local and Biblical history.
It was very nice today and expected to be so tomorrow. Sunny and bright. The sunset over the Mediterranean was out of this world! ~ Ann
That is a lot of information for such a short time there. I believe the the Lord will provide whatever healing either of you are in need of and that you will bring a fresh perspective and anointing back to us! The pictures brought tears to my eyes. I can only imagine the impact of being there. Blessings to both of you!
