Back in Ghana!

Christmas break this year was amazing! Even with all the snow traveling - I was blessed with safe travels and time with my family and so many friends.  From Ghana to Israel to Atlanta to Columbus to Auburn it was a blessed Christmas!  I want to sit down and expand more on Israel but I couldn't wait to show you some highlights!

Here is the Wailing Wall/Dome of the Rock etc on the last night of Hanukkah.  It was beautiful! So many people came out - the orthodox jews in full dress - there are actually tons of Russian jews who have moved back to Israel - and they had the coolest hats - huge fur cylinder hats.  

Here, my traveling buddy, Meg Bauhof and I are sitting in Qumram (where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found!) looking at the Dead Sea.

Here is the window in the Chapel "Dominus Flavius," where Jesus wept over the city on Palm Sunday riding a donkey down the Mount of Olives and into Jerusalem.  This was one of the most relatable places for me to relate to Jesus.  You can see the whole city that he loved, and I have fallen in love with - and He wept knowing this place was going to be destroyed.

Here we are jumping in the tower of David at Sunset, after a day of walking around the Rampart's walk and up the Mount of Olives.   Amazing day walking around the city.

The trip was amazing.  Home was amazing.  More to come...
