Israel Bound!

As most of you know i will be traveling to Israel this coming January through my college Bethel University. I will be gone for three weeks beginning January 2nd and returning the 23rd. I wanted to start a blog so that you would be able to follow along with me as i travel through Israel taking the steps that Jesus took!

Since I am not leaving until January i suppose that some of you are wondering why I have started this blog so early? Well it is because i have already begun preparations for my trip and i wanted to get used to writing a blog so that i know what to do when i get over there. It will also be used for me to update you on any new that i get about the situation over in Israel. As of right now I am going and it looks like everything is in place but that could all change in one day as the Middle East is not a settling place to be.

The main reason i have started this blog so early, is because I want your prayers to be with us on our trip! I know God works in ways that are unbelievable and He has shown me that through prayer anything can be done! My prayer list begins with the trip and that whole situation. I ask that you pray for safe travels and for us to be able to even go on the trip. I ask that you pray for our guides and the other students who are going with me (there are a total of 27 students going so far and that list could grow). I also ask that you pray for me too! I am nervous to say the least and I have never been away for 21 days with people i don't really know.

Again I thank you for reading this and for your prayers I will be posting a blog somewhat frequently before my trip and during my trip my goal is to do everyday but if that is not an option then every other day. I want you to be with me on the trip without having you right there with me.

If you are reading this blog it means that you are a special part of my life. I thank God for all of you because without you i wouldn't be where I am today. You all have shaped me in a different way.

Okay, i must sign off and go to class. But there will be another one soonish so stay tuned.

Stay classy blog readers!
