Israel

one thing i heard at church sunday, which has been brought to my spiritual attentions a few times since i have been here in nashville, is the situation in Israel. i still don't understand the situation fully, but this i know: it is important for me, as a daughter of God, to be praying toward peace in Israel. i'm still trying to do some research, to understand what's going on, but i know that it all plays a key role in end times, which of course, i believe is happening right now, all around us.
pray for the peace of Israel, and against the forces of evil working in the middle east.

thought for the day

sometimes the world around me feels so completely surreal, and the only thing that i know is real is Him. i know Him, i hear Him, i sense His sweet presence. and everything else seems impossible.
other times it's the exact opposite... i feel like He is distant, and this world that surrounds me is the only reality i have.
both of these must be the product of living in this dimension of time--not what i was ultimately created for. but here i am.
