it's been a while

the last time i posted was just before receiving word that my grandma roush had passed away. that probably threw a wrench into my consistent blogging plans which i never came back to pick up.

however, i will try to do better.

yesterday was full of adventure.

1) went to the Israel Museum. full of history and art and multimedia presentations. amazing.

2) found a waterfall in the middle of the city.

3) sat down on the rocks in the water pool and lost my shoe.

4) waded out to retrieve my shoe.

5) walked around the city with one wet and squishy shoe and one dry and cozy shoe.

6) ate pizza and drank coke outside of the bus station.

7) star gazing accompanied by missing every shooting star that was last night. sigh.

8) laughing until my stomach hurt. epic.

relatively speaking

"i am on the way"

aka: "i have thought about leaving and am getting ready to go, but my coat is not on and i need to pee before walking out the door. then i'll be on the way"

love this place!

so maybe i was unclear

God does not equal a change purse.

His good and perfect gifts don't either.

His goodness is hidden in the most obscure and ordinary things.

And I'm so grateful.

That's all.

revelation

comes in bits and pieces. waves and rivulets. eeking and crashing.

last year, actually it must have been almost a year ago, i had one of the wave crashing, bone jarring, OH MY GOSH revelations in my life.

what it was, is not important.

that it was given to me, is.

much like the small pink and white change purse. however that was only temporarily given. the revelation is permanent.

these two lovely ladies were an unwitting part of it all. and the little pink with white polka dots receipt bag was very important too. notice the importance of having our portrait taken with it.

in any case, sometimes it comes in unexpected ways and in unexpected places. i will forever be thankful to miri and shani and the little illegally run cafe in abu gosh for timing, place and purpose.
