Light and Darkness

The last few days have been interesting with so much going on.  We slipped away for church service on Saturday. We walked about a mile and a half to Jerusalem Baptist Church. What a good time and much needed time away to worship and be refreshed!  I think working on adrenaline is good for a short time but not so much for long term.

The church service was very interesting and the visiting pastor from Poland had a great word about darkness and light. In the chaos and messes of our life God is with us even if we feel as if we are in the dark. What is faster than light? The darkness that flees when light enters.  No matter how dark the circumstance or place, we as Christian can be assured we are never alone! God hovered over the earth before he formed light and darkness and he still hovers.

I spent the day w Lizan (Sunday & most of Monday) except a quick trip to the yard store. My first trip out alone in Zion Square. Although a Jewish area I was still  not completely comfortable but it was fine.  I worked on crocheting a bright pink ( Lizan's favorite color) scarf.  I finished and she loves it! We had a really heavy rain too. I love watching everyone around here when it rains. They get so excited and consider it a blessing because it isn't the norm.

We enjoyed watching Lizan use her new hello kitty umbrella!  

Today we said goodbye to baby Ahmed. He should be with his momma by now. Such a touching story. Although their lives as refugees is bleak and sad, they now have a healthy baby. No amount of anything could replace that.

I leave tomorrow night. I am very much ready to go home but a little sad at the thought of saying goodbye to my little friend and her mom and all the Shevet family.

Many Blessing!
