So Surreal

Made the trek over and finally enter the holy land of Jerusalem! I’ve seen it on tv for years, and now here in person. Blessed indeed!! We celebrated with communion looking over the city:)

Valley of Death

We really did think we might see death here lol. Narrow roads and a huge bus… but we made it up to an amazing view and truly incredible terrain of where Jesus walked between Jericho and Jerusalem. If you look closely you will see a church built on the side of the mountains where the story of the “Good Samaritan” . Incredible how they did that! 

Really can see why this is called the Valley of Death oh wow! Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
