israel trip

This time last year I was fixing to open my stocking which would contain a note saying my husband is planning a trip for is real for the 2 of us! I couldn't believe it..I was sooooo excited!!!! We were going to be going with the new orleans baptist theological seminary group. My husband had asked around to see if anyone local was planning a trip and we were referred to this group. This group is AMAZING by the way.. So the time finally came to leave (we flew out of New Orleans with the rest of the group: about 45 of us in all) and the flight over was a little turbulence..too much for me to sleep so maybe slept an hour if that..not really sure. WE did watch a lot of movies as it was a 13 hour total flight in all. We finally arrived in Israel ..long line through customs but then they heard we were in a group and they let us through quickly! We were then able to change our money over to Israel money. We then boarded the charter bus and headed to a mall for lunch in Tel Aviv and then went to Ceaserea where King herod had a fortress and a beautiful amphitheater..WE saw so much while we were in Israel (Sea of galilee, caphernum, where disciples caught the fish, mount of beautides, korazim, border of syria (Golan Heights), Dan (abraham's gate), Bet Shean, Lebanon border, mediterranean sea, Akko, overlook of Nazareth, Elijah called on God, Megiddo, Quaram (Dead Sea scrolls), Jordan River, Dead sea, Mandala (where Mary Magdalene lived ), Jerusalem : mt of olives, Garden of Gesthemane, church of the holy sepulcher, Golgotha, jewish quarter, wailing wall, remnants of second temple, upper room, Bethlehem (church of the nativity) Israel museum (where dead sea scrolls are kept) , Garden tomb and where david slew Goliath! Im sure I even didn't list all of the amazing places! I did want to touch on the testimony of what took place: On the last morning we were staying on the sea of Galilee I had some quiet time with the Lord and as I was headed back to breakfast I felt the Holy Spirit say " Jenny, turn around"..now the day before i thought that would be nice to see a rainbow since it was kinda overcast and how cool it would be to see one over nazareth or over the sea of Galilee. I didn't see anything so I headed to breakfast and as I was sitting there a rainbow appeared! My chair flipped over and I went running outside and there it was over Caphernum where Jesus did most of his ministry! I did break my phone screen as I was so excited I dropped my phone but at that moment I didn't care! We were at the Garden tomb and there was a tour guide who was a retired nurse and I felt led to record the end of his talk and he said there was this man from switzerland here a week ago and he said that while he was in the ICU the Lord appeared to him and healed his heart. I thought of my mom how she was healed by God 8 years ago in ICU and saw him as well (see previous post). I instantly started crying and was led to give him my mom's testimony standing in front of the garden tomb to him. It was amazing and highly emotional. This trip was such a very amazing time! I will never forget it and it truly is the BEST trip ever! I learned so much from our amazing tour guide and the ministers and the students!

33 and the revelation 12 sign!

I haven't posted in what seems like forever but that doesn't mean that God has remained silent it's just I've been busy with life. I came upon this macbook posting about the solar eclipse that occurred on the 21st of August and it's very interesting /needless to say I've backed it up with my own research to make sure it's true but here are some interesting facts that I believe God is trying to get our attention! The solar eclipse occurred on the 233rd day of the year and 133 days until 2018. It also occurred on the 33rd week of the year. It crossed oregon first which is the 33rd state and it ended at the 33rd parallel. It lasted 1:33. Also 33 days from the solar eclipse is sept 23rd which is "the day of return" on the jewish calendar and it's right after the feast of trumpets and before atonement. Also on this day the revelation 12 sign is set to appear in the sky which hasn't happened since around the time of Jesus's birth. Some scholars believe that the rapture will occur on this day/ The bible does that there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars and that the sun will be darkened before his return. I know no one knows the day or hour according to scripture as well but this may be talking about when Christ comes and restores his kingdom on earth (2nd coming): The rapture I believe will happen before then and then the tribulation period will be after the rapture. The next solar eclipse is not to set place for another 7 years from now as well. It's all very interesting facts and even more since i've been seeing 33 and 333 A Lot! I feel God is trying to get people's attention to get right with him before it's too late. Now is the time to repent and accept him if you don't already. I love how our pastor preached tonight on sharing the gospel message with others..we are all broken and in need of something to fill us up since brokenness causes us to be separated from God due to our sin so some people turn to shopping, food, alcohol, drugs, and the like. But ONLY Jesus can truly fill the brokenness and restore right relationship with God the father since he is holy and we are not. So God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our Sins so that we can be forgiven and have full restoration and be FREE with him. So now people must decide whether they want to live with him who Gives Eternal life or without which is brokenness and life without him. Choose JESUS! He loves you and so do I :)

My Dad's Healing journey

On Dec 20th 2016 My dad had a rt total hip repair. We gathered that morning to pray before he went in and like always he was in good spirits but of course somewhat nervous. Surgery went great and he was sent home 2 days later. He then started having stomach trouble and just didn't look himself. He ended up with a bowel obstruction and was in the hospital for a few days and then sent home again. 2 days later we were back in the ER since the previous bowel obstruction never cleared. He was very upset since he felt like he had ruined Christmas. However, I was just thankful that he was alive and he was getting the help that he needed. He ended up in the hospital for about 8 days and during that time I felt scared since I didn't know if they were going to have to operate again (he had his large intestine removed back in 2011 ) so he isn't considered "normal".. they also had a difficult time trying to get an iv in and he just didn't feel "right". I decided to take my kids to Seaside for the day to help get our minds on other things and we couldn't find a parking spot. I was so aggravated at this point since I just wanted to have fun with the girls and they were looking forward to our outing. I was upset driving back to the hospital and as I was listening to Psalm 91.1 (they were playing Xmas music during this time since that's all they played at that time) and this song just came on that I never heard ever before and it's called "Smoke" by Plumb. I highly encourage you to listen..when you feel like your world is falling apart or going up in smoke it's a reminder that he is your healer/comforter etc. It was such perfect timing and I downloaded and played for my parents..it was such a beautiful sight to see my father laying in his hospital bed with his arms raised to Christ. He was healed by God of his bowel obstruction and sent home finally! Things were starting to look up ..until a few days later when he started having pain in his rt leg with swelling. He went to his primary and was dx with a blood clot..massive from his knee to his belly and then they did a CT scan and showed multiple blood clots in both lungs. I felt like I was reliving the time when My mother was ill 7 years ago at that very same hospital after she had surgery and developed blood clots and internal bleeding and almost died but God healed her! PRAISE GOD! (read earlier blog). The same songs would play on radio as they had come on during the time mom had her clots. Also we had many visitors and our friend Larry prayed Psalm 91 over my dad just like it was prayed over my mom by our pastor when she was ill. Also we were given 3 prayer shawls when mom was ill and really ministered to us in our time of need. A few years later I felt God telling me to give mine away to my friend Julie who's mom was sick in the hospital. My mom also wanted to give her one of her's as well. She didn't want to take it since it was sentimental to us but I told her one day she will find someone in need and give it to them. Well, Julie came to visit my dad and she had the prayer shawl that we had given her. It was very moving. All in all dad was in hospital for 1 week on blood thinner. He's doing better but still will take time to heal. It's a set back but during this time we have all grown closer in our walk with God. We were able to focus on God and not the problem and not give in to Fear. I'm so very thankful he has saved my Father and my mother!
