Visits

My friend Andrea is still in town. If you haven't met her than too bad for you. I'll post a picture so if you see her around say hi-she's hard to forget. She's one of my best friends and is in Redding to recharge before she heads back to the West Bank-Bethlehem to be exact. If you don't know know where that is then read a newspaper or look at a map.
It's been so wonderful to have her staying with me. We met while going to school in Jerusalem about a year ago, and its crazy to think that I haven't known her that long. But its amazing how close you can become to a person when you live with them overseas, travel with them, and do ministry with them. It's definetly what I see lacking here in America, especially in the churches here. The idea of family-truly knowing the people in your life-is a difficult concept for people. I think I'll continue this thought in my next blog-I'm too tired.
So Andrea (my other half) is in town and will be for quite a bit longer. And my sister is coming to town on Thursday which I'm super excited about. So needless to say..I'm tired..worn out..and the fun has just begun. I cancelled all that I had on Saturday in attempts to rest. It semi worked...I'm trying to get better at really having Shabbat.
K peace out...time to start another week.
