Home from Israel...

Well, I am home now. My trip to Israel was absolutely AMAZING! There are no words to describe it other than to say you have to go to fully understand it. It's is the Father's Land. You can sense His presence there in such an amazing way. I took over 2,400 pictures, and they don't do the land justice. I have begun posting the pictures on my Facebook and rather than try to copy them all over here, I believe I can share the public links to my Facebook albums...and then you can see them. Enjoy! That's only the beginning.

Also, you can hear me tell about the trip as I shared at our congregation this past Shabbat. The recording is available here - Jocelin's Israel Report 11-20-10.

Timothy and Maria's Wedding

Just 4 Weeks ago, I spent the day with a dear friend who was getting married as her bridal assistant. It was a lot of fun and wonderful to see two dear friends of mine who love each other get married. Congratulations Timothy and Maria!

Here I am with Maria...
Alicia and I already knew each other long distance, but it was great to finally meet and spend time together as we both helped Maria.

Maria looking stunning and contemplative all in one shot.

The beautiful bride...

The sweet couple...

Their first kiss after saying their vows...


Cutting the cake...

Feeding each other...


Myself and Sara Freeland serving the cake...

It was a beautiful day enjoyed by all. Please do keep Timothy and Maria in your prayers as Timothy has just been diagnosed with mono, and Maria is undergoing further testing as she is showing signs of a possible auto-immune disorder.

Preparation

Well, I'm working away on getting ready for Israel. Since I will be almost totally out of pocket for two weeks, I'm making sure my team is prepared before I go and all set. I'm also working to wrap up a couple of projects before I go, and they are coming along quite well.

I leave in just 5 days for Israel and can't wait! My suitcase is almost totally packed too.

A veery good friend of mine has been diagnosed with mono, and his wife, also a dear friend, is experiencing similar symptoms...yet she doesn't have mono. So they are doing further testing to see if it is another auto immune disorder. Please pray for Timothy and Maria's healing and peace during this time. They were just married 4 weeks ago. I hope to share wedding pictures before I leave as well.

Well, off to get a good nights rest...
