Last month in Israel

Already one month I have this feeling that I should write in the blog.. Maybe somebody is reading..

And above all we made this blog to honour our God, so everybody through our life could see Him - that He is faithful, He is good, He always cares for us, He is our shepeard, He is  leading us beside still waters and in green pastures.

Of course, we are making mistakes and we should grow in Him to shine more, so take as we are for now...

As He promised in His Word, He is revealing to us abundance of prosperity and security (Jer. 33:6). 
It is not so easy to expand our mindset boundaries. All our life we were taught that if we have little, we can’t have more than that or at least we should live in worries about tomorrow. Sometimes I think we even insult Him by our attitude that we should save money (do not allow ourselves live like children of God), because maybe we will not have tomorrow. And the most sad thing - that we can’t meet our neighbour needs because we are short of money, time etc.

And sometimes we even don’t need to have money to enjoy all the blessings what He has for us or through us to somebody else. 

For example, one of friend from our class blessed us with opportunity to go to 5 stars hotel by the Dead Sea and enjoy the day in mineral pools. Our girls were so happy! Almost all the day they were swimming in the pool, just quickly run to eat something and back again. David also had a great time because it is always too small space for him in the bathtub. Now he could splash the water as much as he wanted and even crawl in the water. He is the one who is changed in these three months the most - when we came here, he was just 6 month old and when I put him, there I could find, but now he is sitting, crawling, he can stand on his feet and even few times he climbed in our bed. 

Hope that we are as changed from the inside as he is from the outside, because God is really opening our eyes for so many things, almost every day He puts in our hearts new revelations or at least seeds which will grow sooner or later. God revealed a little bit more from our calling, set the direction.. In few words - intensive time..

We had intensive time also with excursions. I will not gonna be tired to continue what a beautiful nature Israel has!! Fantastic! What we realised, that it is really blessed land. If something is growing, than it is GROWING. No weak plants, no poor sight, everything looks magnificent! (Of course, because of people some areas are a little bit messy, but nature by itself is great!).

The most fantastic memories we had from 4 days Jesus Trail.

 It was something! The group went in two days 37 km by feet, but me with kids stayed in our hotel (it was also something what we didn’t expect! Because we were with kids we could not sleep in the same hotel as the group because there were no such a big room where we 5 could stay, so we and other family should stay in another hotel some 300 m from them. When we entered there, we had good surprise there - we had little house with fantastic view on mount Arbel, big terrace and even jacuzzi in the living room! There was also one pool where we could relax and children could finally swim.)

But not the excursions, not the blessings - nothing - compares to the feeling that God is using us! And it happened as never before! He put us in the situations when we could share our experience with something and it helped many people. After they told us that our testimonies or our prayers helped so much and changed a lot. And the anointing what was there while ministry to others, it is something worth living! 

The school is over! We had great graduation evening - dinner with Hebrew dances, fellowship and presents. Our Latvian friend with her husband babysit our children so we were finally enjoying night together:)

Next morning they got diplomas and ate fantastic Israel Total 2013 cake.

We said goodbye to all new friend from all over the World.

It was not easy to finish this course (some of students didn’t...), all of us had smaller or bigger trails and tests, but it worth it!

So just last three days and then we will be able to say as Paul said:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”.

God is good! To go His ways if so fantastic! There was no such a challenging time for us as a family (mentally and physically) as it was in these three month, but we were never so happy as we were here. 

Curious what plan God has for us in future?...
