Shalom

After spending about 20 hours between a plane and lay overs Rob and I are finally home from Israel! A trip of a lifetime is truly how I would explain our time in Israel. To have walked where Jesus had walked as well as his disciples was truly incredible and a priveledge. While the whole experience was overwhelming, Israel needs lots of prayer. The percentage of Muslims is off the chart. Just traveling to the airport I counted, in one village alone, 13 mosques in only my line of sight. In the picture you can see the "Dome of the Rock" which is built directly over the temple. My heart is truly broken for the lost.

Our computer is down at home so I will post more later.

So soothing...

Today has been hectic to say the least. I have been running around trying to accomplish things before going to work. I had the perfect schedule planned and of course all of it was shattered over a trivial thing. It ended with almost crying on the phone to Rob. But God always knows what you need. After coming home and regrouping, I was cancelled from work for 3-11. Then I was able to complete all the tasks that had to be done. And now God is allowing me the priveledge to sit on my couch and watch the rain as an afternoon thunderstorm plays music to my ears. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD! And did I mention I am cuddled with my puppies. God always knows what you need-even when you don't know you need it.

So I know this will be cheesy, but I really like this song. I feel like it describes the way Rob makes me feel.

New addition!

Meet Maggie Bensinger! She is a wonderful addition to our family!
We adopted her from the Birmingham Humane Society on May 17. The story of how we got her was actually a little difficult. We had originally decided that we were going to adopt Jake who was a lab terrier/mix. We went to look at him on Sunday and the humane society said he had an adoption pending. Then they said it wasn't a big deal because 75% of the people who say they are going to get a dog don't come back and get it.So we went back on Monday because they said we could adopt Jake. Well I got there and they brought out this precious puppy. Macy and I start playing with her and about 20 minutes later I remember saying to myself "This is a girl." So needless to say after all of that I could not say no to taking her home. So now she is here and it is like she has always been apart of the family.
