Remind us of His promises

Day one has absolutely blown us away! The leaders of our trip have elected to not tell us where we are going. This has allowed us to be present and fully surrendered before the Lord in every moment we get, rather than worrying over an itinerary. The popular phrase from Pastor Josh has been “We’ll see what the Lord has”, which has become the favorite (and sometimes least favorite) answer to receive. However, the Lord has been teaching us so much. God is using Josh to remind us of His promises. We visited different sites in the Sorek Valley and Elah Valley, and watched the stories of the Old testament come to life right before our very own eyes. The general theme for this day was obedience. We have to have the right perspective of who God is. When we aren’t obedient to the Lord, it’s easy to have a little God, and great fear. We learned what it looks like to put our full faith in the Lord, and how to have a big God, and little fear.

Some of our favorite moments from today were visiting caves that we’re convinced Hobbits from The Lord of the Rings must have built, getting “attacked” by pigeons, seeing a giant scorpion, and having our AMAZING tour guide, Ronan, serenade us with some Tom Jones melodies (although, the scorpion and pigeons were a bit traumatizing).

We can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store.
