Memories - Israel edition

In keeping with the theme of my previous post. Here are some more memories. This time pictures exclusively from Israel. =) Spending a month in Israel completely changed my perspective on what it means to follow Jesus. It was amazing. I think every Christian should go there. I really changes how you see things and it made me fall in love with Jesus even more. =) (It was really hard to narrow this down. I have soooo many pictures!)
 We flew Swiss Airlines. That was fun. Hello complimentary chocolate!
 The house we stayed at in Jerusalem!
 View of the Old City and the Dome of the Rock in the background. It was super windy almost the whole time we were in Jerusalem. 
 The Garden of Gethsemane. 
 First class toilets...
 The Western Wall
 The Gate Jesus will enter through when he returns!!! I can't wait! =)
 The winding streets. 
 Yay!
 Our trip to the Dead Sea
 "Look Ma, no hands!"
 The Sea of Galilee (in Tiberius) I wish I had more pictures from our time in Tiberius but for some reason I didn't take many. =/
 Tel Aviv! I love this city!
 Helping out at a soup kitchen in Tel Aviv. And crying while peeling onions.
 Helping out at a clothing distribution center. 
Goodbye Tel Aviv. =( Goodbye Israel.

I could have added so many more pictures but this will have to do for now. Enjoy! I'm going to bed. I have 2 exams tomorrow!

Bucket List

I am currently sitting at Caribou Coffee trying to study for my final exams. There are two girls sitting beside me on skype with one of their friends. They are speaking Spanish to each other. Very fluent Spanish I might add. Both girls are obviously Caucasian in ethnicity. I know I'm supposed to be studying but it got me to thinking about my life and how much I want to learn Spanish. This got me thinking about things that I want to do in my lifetime. I so often think of things that I want to do with my life but then later I forget them, so that is why I have decided to write a bucket list of sorts. Not because I think I'm going to die soon or anything, but just because. We all die someday. The thing that really excites me about this is that I will most likely not even do half of the things I put on my list. As I grow and change my desires will change and maybe I'll add new things to the list and cross off old things that I don't want to do anymore. I know God will lead ...

Nothing worth doing is ever going to be easy. If you really want something you have to suck it up, put your nose to the grind, and just do it. Yeah, I know that was an overuse of cliches right there. :) This is something I am learning in more than one aspect of my life right now. I can't say it's the most fun lesson I have ever had to learn. :( In my relationship with the Lord, if I want further intimacy I have to push in deeper. Intimacy with the Lord doesn't just happen overnight. It's like in any relationship. Closeness takes time. The people you know the best are generally the ones you spend the most time with. It's the same with the Lord. I am also learning this with school. I really want to be a nurse. I knew going into it that nursing school was going to be difficult, but being told that doesn't exactly prepare you for when it happens. I have been sick the past few days and really not into the whole studying thing. It's hard to concentrate on so...

I did a photo shoot with my sister and one of her friends today. I don't claim to be a photographer by any means, but I wanted to practice so I can at least be decent. Here's a few of what I took. My sister is so photogenic so it made taking pictures of her much easier. =) Yay. =)
