ISRAEL: T-4 DAYS
Folks have asked me what I am most wanting to see/do/experience when I get to Israel. Honestly, and this sounds like a kindergarten answer, but I want everything!

There is nothing I don't want to try. There is no place I don't want to see. There is not a single thing I'm willing to scratch off my list because it doesn't sound like something I want to do.

I'll take all I can get and I'll sort out the feeling of being overwhelmed by it all after the fact.

I've brushed up on some suggested Bible readings. I've poured over the Christian's Guide to the Holy Land. I've printed off a small map that shows me geographically where all we will be going, I'm a nerd like that. I've got a brand-new journal packed and ready to fill with every note I can take, and pens ready to write down all I feel as I soak it up. I've got my little laptop charged and ready to report back on this God-given opportunity.

I think I'm ready, but I also know that the moment I step off the plane, I'll know there is no way in the world I could be ready for all God has in store for me.

Life is like that, isn't it?
