Have you ever had a house full of people? Maybe you have a big family so your house is always full; but for me, I’m used to having a house filled with only three people and two dogs. This week, however, the number went up to nine people and two dogs! In simple terms, we were packed!

How important are your friends to you? Do you have at least one friend you can turn to when the going gets tough? I believe that it's essential in life to have at least one really close friend who you can talk to about anything.
Growing up, friends came in and out of my life. With all the moving I’ve done and the drama you go through while growing up, I always ended up with either one or zero friends. At the end of the day, the only constant people in my life were my parents. It was hard at times, but I don’t regret my life for a minute. Thankfully, YHVH has blessed me with one long lasting friend. That friend is, of course, Anthony. Through thick and thin, we have remained friends, though I’m not too sure how. We live thousands of miles apart and I don’t think we’ve ever spent more than 3-4 hours in person, together! We’re always like two ships passing by the other, but that didn’t stop him from becoming one of my best friends. How do you react when someone asks you to do something? Does it depend on how you’re feeling or are you always happy to help? For me, I’m very happy to do things for others when I’m feeling good and not like death.
Have you ever thought about your future spouse? Do you ever dream about what they may look or be like? I do all the time, and the suspense really gets to ya sometimes.
I know I’m not ready to get married, but this is definitely one of those times where I wish I could look into the future and see who my future husband is going to be. Of course, that being said, I would lose the element of surprise and things could work out differently than they’re supposed to; so, I guess I’ll just have to wait, for now. Have you ever felt like a sloth? I know that’s a weird question, but hey I’m weird so just go with it. A sloth is the slowest animal on the planet and sometimes we, as humans, mimic their speed. I, for one, can definitely relate to a sloth at times.
Some days I feel like I’m as fast as a hare, getting everything done really quickly and not collapsing until the evening; but then, some days I’m like a sloth, unable to move faster than 1 mph or complete any of my work. Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I believe in God?” To some, this may seem like an odd question, but it’s one of the most important questions you could ever ask yourself. Honestly, I’ve never questioned why I believe until last Saturday night.
Have you ever gone from zero to a hundred in a matter of seconds? How about being so surprised that you cried? Well, both of these things happened to me this week when I got the biggest surprise of my life.
Isn’t YHVH extraordinary?! He never ceases to amaze me! He is constantly working in my life and in the lives of those around me. The testimonies I’ve heard in this last week have been awesome! I can’t wait to start sharing the amazing way YHVH used me and my friends to save a person’s life and bring a smile to another.
After the outreach ended on Saturday night, nothing was the same. I don’t think a single person left feelings like the same person they were when they arrived. Everywhere I look now, I find myself praying for God to show me the people who need prayer or a laugh. Even though the outreach ended, for those involved, it was just the beginning. Is the week over already? I seriously can’t get over how fast it’s gone! My time in the US has flown by so quickly that I don’t want it to end yet. If it were up to me, I’d stay longer and go see my other friends in Pennsylvania.
I’m not sure why, but I keep feeling pulled to go to PA. I don’t know if it’s my heart that wants to see everyone, searching for something it hasn’t found in Johnson City; or if it’s really YHVH calling me to go up there. I guess it really doesn’t matter though since it’s not up to me, and my dad has already told me I have to go back to Israel. Have you ever felt like the week just flew by? Did it end in the blink of an eye? For me, this week has gone by so fast, I’m amazed I’ve found the time to do anything! From going to the beach, being a part of more drama, driving to Tennessee from Florida, and going to see a chiropractor, my week has been anything but a holiday! Don’t get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoyed this week! There have been so many wonderful events, but there were also some upsetting ones.
