I’ve been reading Hebrews where it says, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet was without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). I am so glad that Jesus identifies with us. He understands how we feel.
Pam and I are both feeling emotional. We have decided to return home on Thursday, September 28th, a month and a half early. It is a good decision, one we feel right about, but with it comes sadness. We almost want to protect ourselves from the tears.
Our grief has to do with missing opportunities to share Yeshua here with the precious Jewish people. It is hard to saying goodbye to people, especially the Bellas! They are going to Texas and we are going to Tennessee. We will miss a lifestyle of meaningful service and an environment rich with history and ripe with the potential of a great nation shaking harvest, as well as the threat of war. We will miss what might have been if we had stayed longer!!
We can hardly wait to get home!!! Young Liam told me he is anxious to go on another airplane ride. We are anxious to hug and kiss our daughters and be closer to family in the States! It will be nice to pat the dogs and sleep in our own beds. It will be lovely to see dear friends. It will be exciting to start afresh living for the Lord Jesus on Little Valley Road.
We are coming home with a sense of adventure. We want to be part of Father God’s plan for true spiritual revitalization in America. There are dreams and visions in us that are kindling.
We said goodbye to our friend Hadas yesterday. We took her out to Rosa’s Restaurant on Emek Rafaim Street in the German Colony then took a walking tour of the area with her. “See you later” hugs are not as fun as “Good to see you!” hugs. Thank God that in another week we may have lots of the latter. We will relish ever one!
So glad that our High Priest knows how we feel!
