<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My thoughts are all smashed together
at the moment. I don’t really know when this past week began because so much
has happened. The days seem to linger and yet the weeks fly by. In the past
week we said goodbye to five short-term missionaries, welcomed two new
short-term missionaries, celebrated the 4<sup>th</sup> of July, continued our
work in the Magazine, shadowed doctors in the hospital, played with children,
fellowshipped with one another, and went on a day trip to Kpalime to hike to a
waterfall, visit the blind center, and shop in the market. On top of all that I
happened to catch a cold and was pretty sick Friday, but God is good and I am
finally feeling much better. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">There is not much time to catch ones
breath here as things are always happening. This week our team will be
traveling to Mango (Thurs-Sat) to see the hospital that is being built in
<st1:place w:st="on">Northern Togo</st1:place> and do some site seeing, were
hoping for some hippos! I have to say I am missing home but am learning so much
here. Africa is so unbelievably different than <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Many
times I find myself trying to compare the two and often I stand in disgust at
how nice Americans have it. However, I have come to the conclusion that I
shouldn’t compare because there really aren’t’ any similarities except that both
have people. Each country is unique to itself and has its own troubles. As an
American I look at Africa and see the poverty and disease and think what sorrows
Africans have; but as an African I look at <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> and see
the broken families and drug/alcohol abuse and think what sorrows Americans
have. It is all in the way that you look at things.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">From what I have perceived thus far
the Togolese truly value life or they seem to understand what is important –
people. They are all about family. In fact if you don’t have a big family you
are highly looked down upon. When I travel through villages I just see people
everywhere. Walking together, eating together, playing together, working
together, driving together (Side note: I don’t think I have seen one car that
has had less than 4 people in it and most of the time I see a 5 passenger car,
small car, filled with 8-10 people plus fruit or luggage stacked as high as
possible and hanging out the back end. The saying here is you can always
squeeze one more! In contrast how often do you see more than 1 person in a car
traveling down the 5 freeway? Just something to think about). The Togolese are
definitely a people oriented culture, especially in regards to children. They
are also the hardest working people group I have ever seen. Each day I see
children, around the ages of 5-12yrs old, come to the hospital with huge jugs
(similar to gasoline containers but larger) to get fresh water. They walk miles
to get the fresh water, fill the jug (which probably weighs 20-50lbs), place it
on their head, and walk back home. It really is mind-blowing. Well I could go
on and on but I have much to do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Please pray that our team would have
safe travels this weekend, stay healthy, and continue to bless those we meet.
Please be praying for the hospital and the missionaries here. This past week
was difficult as there were five people that died within a 24-hr period, and
that was just one day. Death occurs often here mainly due to disease. For some
statistics, a doctor that works here only lost 4 patients in his 20 years of
practice in the States to similar diseases that take the lives of 170 Togolese a
year; and that is just the record for this hospital. As there is sorrow there
is also happiness. Abraham, whom I have mentioned before, was able to go home
today. His future doesn’t look hopeful, but he has wanted to go home for months
now and he finally got to. I went to say goodbye and it was the first time that
I saw him where he couldn’t stop smiling!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its
taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?
It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled
under people’s feet. You are the light
of the world. A city set on a hill
cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a
lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in
the house. In the same way, let your
light shine before others, so that they may see your good words and give glory
to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:13-16</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many things in this world that influence people’s
perspectives and opinions. Usually
people aren’t swayed too easily; however there are cases when one’s view can
change in a moment. I have been in <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> only one week; and yet this one week has impacted
me greatly. Each night I lie in bed
dumbfounded at life. Life, what is
life? As this question is answered
clearly in my mind I have missed the importance of it and the wonderful gift it
is. You could say that in the last week
my eyes have been opened immensely too how much I take for granted. I honestly can’t express in words what I have
seen. African’s have so little and yet
they value life and more importantly each other. They aren’t all about themselves, but rather
are more concerned for the well being of others. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Eight days ago I traveled with a team of nine to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Togo</st1:country-region>, <st1:place w:st="on">West Africa</st1:place>.
For the first few days we became acclimated to our surroundings. We had much to observe. You could definitely say culture shock. All I can say is American’s are spoiled
rotten, even the poorest of the poor. To put it into perspective a C-section in
the area of <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> I am in costs $5-15
depending on the hospital one goes to.
To be honest sometimes it makes me sick in my stomach just thinking
about how much I have complained and what I take for granted. African’s walk miles to go to school, work or
get water. Women will carry two huge
bowls of coal or wood on top of their head (30-50lbs) with a baby strapped to
their back for many miles. When is the
last time you saw that in the States – never!
They are the hardest working people I have seen, especially the women
and children; and they always have a smile on their faces. They are very friendly, honestly there are
few instances when I pass people where I don’t here them say Bonjour to me and
ask me how I am even though all I know how to say back is bonjour. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My first day here we went on a tour of the hospital. For the past week our team has mainly been
working in the Warehouse, we call it the Magazine. We basically have been organizing and
inventorying all the medical supplies.
It is very overwhelming because they have had no one to manage it so
when shipments come in boxes basically get thrown into storage. The hospital really doesn’t know what they
have so it is our job to organize it all.
It has definitely been a test for all of us because it’s not the first
job I would sign up for if you know what I mean. In any case we are making progress,
slowly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yesterday was my first full day at the hospital. I followed an American PA in the morning and
then followed a Togolese PA in the afternoon in the clinics. I greatly enjoyed working with both of them. My first day was definitely difficult
because you never know who will walk through the door. The hardest thing is that almost all of the
patients that die in the hospital would not have died had they been in <st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place>. There was so much I saw yesterday, so much
pain and yet happiness mixed within. I
saw children and adults with malaria, meningitis, surgery patients, and
premature babies. One premy baby is
called Koku and she is a miracle baby.
She was born a month ago and weighs 408g, so tiny and so adorable. Seventy-five percent of the children were
admitted due to Malaria. For <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place> this is the season for Malaria because of
rainstorms, which means many deaths. The
average kid in <st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region>
probably doesn’t even know what malaria is and it is one of the number one
killers of children in <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>. Thus far while being here there have been
five deaths in the hospital, two within the last 24hrs. One was an elderly lady
who I actually worked with yesterday, she died early in the morning from
congestive heart failure. The other was
a girl only the age of 15. I was
actually viewing a surgery when we heard of her death, which was difficult
because this morning she was walking and seemed to be recovering well. African’s take death extremely hard. In fact they view it as the most important
event in one’s life, especially if you are old because you would have made a
name for yourself. You almost always
know when someone dies in the hospital because of the mourning. There has been so much to take in within the
last week, just even the last day. At
night my brain runs a million miles a minute, which is good except for when I
need sleep. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Briefly the thing I have loved most is working with
Believers. In the hospital the very
first page of everyone’s medical chart is their spiritual state followed by
their medical records. For every patient
we see we will pray with them before we go to the next patient. This has been very compelling. Also the staff is absolutely wonderful. There are many short-term missionaries here
as well as long. Our team stays in the
guest house along with other short-term doctors who stay in guest rooms. We all have breakfast, lunch, and dinner
together, which I love. I have met some
incredible people. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well that is my short update, haha, there is so much more to
tell. God has been so good and our team
has remained relatively healthy, a few upset stomachs. My knee hasn’t given me many problems thanks
to a fantastic African stationary bike that one of the missionaries made for
me. Please continue to keep our team in
your prayers and the work we will be doing here. These last two days have been hard but good
just with everything we have seen in the hospital. Also remember the Togolese. Animism is very prevalent in <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>. Each
village has a ‘god’ that they believe protects them along with the wind, earth,
sun, etc ‘god’. If something bad happens
they believe it is because they have disobeyed the ‘gods’ and thus have an evil
spirit upon them. There is a great need
for the truth of the One True God.</div>

Well I can't believe it but Sarah and I officially finished college. It is surreal just thinking about it. Four years have come and gone just like that. Everyday I hear the words of the wise running through my mind "Cherish every moment for time only goes by faster the older you get." What a blessing it was to be at The Masters College. It was humbling to reflect back over the years and think of all that God brought into my life, the good and the bad, and how the events shaped me. Honestly God is incredible. Each day I am reminded of how much I must rely upon him as I am completely inadequate without him, I am a fool. He has been so good to me. At the moment I am still on crutches, but today while at physical therapy I rode a bike and walked without crutches and my brace. Ah it was so exciting and at the same time so weird and tripy and crazy and I could go on and on. Learning to walk again is strange and yet such a blessing. The fact that I get to walk again and I have gotten to reflect or be reminded of all that I took and continually take for granted. So many say I am so sorry about your injury and most of the time deep down I am like me to, this is not fun; but then there are those moments when I realize my injury is nothing compared to what most go through. The world is full of misery with cancer, disease, disabilities, etc. I am one of the blessed ones. How often I forget this and what a shame. It just shows the selfish/self-centered human I am. I pray that God would continue to put me in my place, reveal the sin in my life, and allow me to be a light to those around me. Praise God for all he has done.Hannah Fullerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383624752340258336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618444495068944107.post-35377477185195763942012-04-16T06:46:00.001+03:002012-04-16T06:52:23.731+03:00Trusting God isn't always easy but the bestIt has been quite awhile since I have written to say the least. I would say I probably fail at blogging, but then again I haven't given it a good shot so here I go once again. Israel was absolutely a life changing experience. To say it simply I once read the Bible in black and white and now it is full of color and life. I was blessed beyond belief to go and I thank God for such an incredible opportunity. Since then so many things have happened. I started my last semester of college, which ends in four weeks :), am living off-campus with two incredible girls, Mollie and Kayla; have two classes with my little sister being able to spend every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with her going to chapel, lunch and classes, which I have absolutely loved. But the main reason I finally started blogging again was because God had a change of plans with my life. This summer I was planning on going to Togo, Africa on a medical missions trip with eight other amazing people. I have been preparing this whole semester for it and couldn't have been more excited to go. Well on 3/31 I was playing intramural soccer and managed to step on some uneven ground, which resulted in a torn ACL and inverted and torn lateral meniscus. As I was going down I knew exactly what had happened and all I could think was why, why me, why again, why? There were so many other people playing, over 50. Not one of them got hurt and not that I would wish it upon them, but why me? The first thing I said was my parents are going to kill me, which they didn't and have been amazing about it. The following 10 days were a whirlwind going from one doctors appointment to the next, getting X-rays and an MRI, getting tons of calls form different medical people. In short the doctor told me I needed surgery asap, but for me that wasn't the worst. The worst was when I reminded him about Togo after hearing the results and he immediately swore and dropped his head (I sorta laughed later because I couldn't believe he swore, after shadowing two doctors I came to find they will never swear unless they know the individual really well or something is serious and it happens to slip out.) Once he lifted his head he said "Togo is absolutely out of the question." I kept myself composed and left the office completely devastated. Honestly at that moment I really could have cared less about what had happened to my leg, I was crushed about Togo. Why, I felt like God had completely thrown Togo in my lap only to rip it out and taunt me this whole time. On 4/10 I had surgery. The doctor was able to repair both the meniscus and the ACL, but if the meniscus doesn't heal within six weeks he will have to take it out. I have been recovering at my older sisters house and my mom flew out, which was such a blessing. I can't say that recovery has been easy, its rather been frustrating due to insurance and medical equipment problems. Now hear I am finally finding myself updating my blog after months of nothing. To sum up all thats happened is difficult. I am trusting the Lord, but it is not always easy especially when you see nothing ahead of you and I had Togo. Still I know God's ways are perfect. Life truly can change in a second, but the joy in it all is knowing that although life may change God will still be with me and my family and friends by my side to get me through difficult times. This is the blessing that I have because of Christ. Not only that, but I know it could be much worse. There are so many hurting with much more trying situations. I may not be able to walk for awhile but I still have a leg and a healthy body. Anyways that is my life at the moment. It went from being really great to just about rock bottom, but like I said God has a purpose and I pray that I would remember that "God is always good it is how we view his goodness in our lives that affects our attitudes." Romans 5:3-5 "More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."Hannah Fullerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383624752340258336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618444495068944107.post-35949064267647336362011-10-21T02:46:00.000+02:002011-10-21T02:46:06.264+02:00Challah, Samaria, and a night in Jerusalem!All I can say is God blows my mind! Once again so much has happened and I don't even know where to begin to explain all that has unfolded. For the last week we have been celebrating Sukkot or Feast of Booths, which lasts for seven days. It is a Jewish Festival that reminds Jews of their pilgrimage after they left Egypt. The sukkot, tent, is a reminder of the fragile dwellings in which they dwelt in during the 40 years of wandering. It is a time for unbridled joy as they reflect back on how God provided for them and provides today. Friday we made Challah before we had Shabbat. As for the rest of the week I spent my time studying and doing homework. This last week we had our Second Temple Midterm, an LXX and MT comparison, and lots of homework due. And then came today or more like tonight, it was incredible and much needed. First, after dinner we had a girls mug and muffin night. All I can say is we are extremely blessed by the women here - Stephanie, Jael, Natalie, and Wendy. They are incredible, so encouraging, and challenge us in many ways. It was the perfect way to start an amazing night. After that twenty-one of us headed to Jerusalem on a Sherut to celebrate the last day of Sukkot. I don't even know how to describe what took place, but in short we ended up going to a Torah party. The middle of the streets had men singing and dancing with unbridled joy around the Torah. Later on some of the boys found an entrance to the Ramparts, which allows you to walk around the wall overlooking the valleys. We walked along the Southern wall facing the City of David and the Mount of Olives. It was a view I will never forget as the surrounding hills were lit up. The ambience of the evening was a perfect setting for being on top of the wall and looking out over the City of David. I couldn't help but be filled with excitement and joy. I have the shivers just thinking about it and how incredible God is. On a completely different note earlier in the day I was doing homework for Land and Bible and I read Luke 5:1-11, Jesus calls the first disciples. In verse 10 Jesus says to Simon who was a fishermen.."Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men." When I read this all I could picture was the relationship of fishing and witnessing. Fishing in a way is a good example of what witnessing is like. Growing up I would go fishing. Every fishermen knows you have to have a pole, bait, and fish to catch. If I wanted to catch a fish I had to take the pole and the bait and cast the line. I picture this as God is holding the pole, which is me, and the bait is his word. It is not me that will lead others to Christ, but God. God can use me though just as a fishermen uses a pole to catch the fish. The bait is key. What good is a pole without the bait. To use the bait properly Christians must dive into God's word and learn the truth to share with others. Don't be satisfied with just knowing enough to get by. When you are fishing over time the bait falls off. How strong are you rooted in God's word. There are so many lost souls out there waiting to hear the truth. Are you willing to allow God to use you? When he calls do you only allow him to cast the line so far as long as you are comfortable? Allow Him to cast the line where he pleases and as far as he please, be grounded in his word, and the catch will not be a disappointment. Don't be afraid...God is holding the pole, he is holding you, and he has giving his word to you as bait. The question is are you resisting and using the bait to its fullest? Something to think about. James 4:14 "Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away."<br />
<br />
Well it is 2:00am and I need to get some sleep. Surprisingly I am not too tired right now mainly because I have much on my mind. Today I have one class and then Saturday I am going to Galilee for a whole week and when I get back I get to see my Parents and The Browns, which I couldn't be more excited for!!! I pray you all have a great week and challenged yourselves to grow closer to your Lord.<br />

I am continuing to soak up new information and feel as if I don't know where to hold more. Its amazing and overwhelming at the same time. The following is a brief synopsis of the last fourteen days: last Wednesday (Oct 5) and today we went on two Shephelah trips. The Shephelah, also known as the foothills, is the buffer zone between the hill country and the coastal plain. We visited the Sorek, Elah, and Guvrin Valleys. The Sorek Valley is where Samson spent much of his life and the Elah Valley is where David killed Goliath. Within these Valleys we visited sites such as Beth Shemesh which is in the area that Samson killed many Philistines with just the jawbone of a donkey, Azekah where the Philistines encamped before the battle of David and Goliath, Tel Goded where we explored caves carved into chalk by the Jewish people during the 2nd Jewish Revolt to hide from the Romans, Maresha which may have been the hometown of the prophet Micah (Micah 1:1), Lacish which Rehoboam fortified Sennacharib sieged and Joshua smote, Hirbet Qeiyafa which may be the site known as "two gates" (1 Sam 17:1), Gath which is the home of Goliath, Caves of Adullam where David fled from Saul and hid (1Sam 22:1-4), and Gaza which was a Philistine city. In between the two Wednesday we celebrated Yom Kippur, which is the Day of Atonement for Jewish people. It is a solemn day centered around repentance. Jewish custom is to fast (which we did as well) and remain home. Due to their customs the freeways are empty accept for a few arab cars. Because of this on friday night we went to the main highway and took pictures. You can imagine it by thinking of what it would be like if Las Angeles closed the 5 freeway for a holiday, pretty crazy. On Saturday we had men and women's bible study, prayed during the afternoon, fasted all day, and had huge dinners at the staffs houses. Overall it was a great experience. Tuesday (Oct 11) we went into Jerusalem with our Jewish Thought and Culture teach, Ariel, to celebrate erev Sukkot. Sukkot is the feast of booths and lasts for eight days. It is a time of celebration, after repentance, and prayer for rain. We went during the evening. It was incredible. The closest holiday I can compare it to is Christmas. They have a Sukkot fair where they come to get palm branches and the etrog. At the end of the night we went to the very Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. It was a little scary as they are not welcome to visitors. While walking the street I couldn't get over the sense of community they have. I am very fascinated by their way of life and had lots of thoughts on my mind after. On top of all that I had many classes, papers, and a huge midterm. I am definitely exhausted and am ready for one free day which won't happen till December 11 when we are done :) Last thing before I get back to tons of homework, here are some verses that have made me think about my walk with God and life in general. I hope they impact you as well in one way or another. John 7: 17-18 "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my authority. <u>The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory</u>; but <u>the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true</u>, and in him there is no falsehood." Proverbs 19:27 " Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge." 1 Corinthians 15:10 "But by the grace of God I am what I am..." Just some words to think about. I pray you all have a blessed week. </span><br />

This past week we had a Benjamin field trip on Monday, which was amazing. We drove from Yad Hashmonah (where we are staying), to Kiriat-jearim, to Emmaus (the administrative centor of the Aijalon Valley in N. T. times), to Gezer (the administrative center of the Aijalon Valley in O.T. times, it was also given to Solomon a part of a dowry with Pharaoh's daughter), to Beth Horon and the Valley of Aijalon (Josh 10 - the Amorites fled from the Israelites while God threw hailstones down and took them out), to Nebi Samwil (I Ki 3 and 2 Chron 1:1-13 - possibly the "High Place of Gibeon" where Solomon asked God for wisdom), to Gibeon (Joshua 9 - the Canaanite/Hivite inhabitants tricked Joshua into a peace treaty), to Gibeah of Saul (1 Sam 15:34 - Saul makes Gibeah the capital of the monarchy), to Ramah (home and burial of Samuel) to Geba - Michmash, The Pass (where Joshua crossed on his all night journey from Gilgal to Gibeon, Jonathan crawled across to fight the Philistines, and the Assyrian threat during Hezekiah's reign occurred), through the Judean Wilderness, and lastly to Jericho (Joshua 6 - the walls come down). While we traveled to each location we drove on the main ridge routes that Jesus and others would have taken. I loved seeing the layout of the land and how close in proximity everything is to Jerusalem. My favorite part continues to be reading the Bible and picturing the land that the event is actually taking place at - everything is coming together in the Bible and it only becomes more exciting everyday as I continue to understand and know more about the people, places, and events of the Bible. <br />
Well that was only Monday, luckily the rest of the week we just had classes; however my brain does feel overloaded with all the new material covered. I thought I would share some things I learned in a few of the classes. In History of Ancient Israel we were going over the Covenant God made with his people in Deuteronomy. At the end we discussed the key ideas that are still applicable and makes you think. 1. Remember what God has done (Deut 6:10). Remember what God has done in the past to give you confidence for the future. Remember so that you don't abandon God (Deut 8). This seems like a very basic, no brainer point but then I thought to myself how often do I abandon God? 2. Tell others what God has done for you, specifically your children (Deut 6:20). 3. Serve the Lord according to His Rules! This is the key theme in Deuteronomy and The 10 Commandments. 4. Heart - Obedience requires the right heart (Deut 6:5). There are many things you can do for God or for others, but you must examine yourself and the motive behind doing it, do you have the right heart the right attitude. 5. Separate - how do you distinguish/separate yourselves from others. Do you set an example and lead not only by your words, but your actions as well (Deut 6...you shall be holy because I am holy). 6. Divine initiative (Deut 7) God chose them, God chose you. 7/8. Obedience brings blessings while disobedience brings consequences. The following day we were discussing the Conquest and why scholars advocate different stories then what the Bible says. Benj said something that really struck me, he said "Without the eyes of faith you should not expect somebody to adhere to the Bible." So often I look at those that are lost and think how do you not know, it is so simple. I have to remind myself that God has opened my eyes to the truth so I see that it is black and white. Those that are lost couldn't be more blind to the faith. I am reminded of how God has blessed me and the compassion I should show to the lost. I pray that God would continue to open the eyes of the lost to see the truth as He has done for me. On a different note, in my Israel in the Second Temple Period class we were discussing the Jew's return and going over the reflection and application. We can learn several things from them: 1. The Jews were sensitive to God's leading. The Lord talks to us today through the Bible, prayer, teaching, the Holy Spirit, and people. The question is are you sensitive to God's leading? The Lord can lead us in different ways, but the bottom line is are you sensitive to his leading? 2. The Jews were willing to make the necessary sacrifices in order to accomplish God's will/purposes. James 4:17 says "whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin." Do you feel God leading you one way, but you are hesitant to follow - Don't, trust him and take a leap of faith. Is our God not big enough to handle all the minor and major details of our lives? 3. The Jews got distracted from serving the Lord and buried themselves with their own activities rather than Gods. This one definitely hit me as I feel like I am so consumed with school, friends, the future, and life in general that God gets lost somewhere in the middle. I must be careful not to get distracted and continually remind myself what is most important and that is my relationship with God. 4. Lastly in the end the Jews obeyed God joyfully. Do you serve God joyfully? Well I wanted to share those with you as these are a few things God has been challenging me with. I pray that He is challenging you daily and you continue to get to know your Lord.Hannah Fullerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383624752340258336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618444495068944107.post-12367730358239281042011-09-20T22:10:00.001+03:002011-09-20T22:37:02.838+03:00Benjamin, Jerusalem, the Mediterranean....<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">In the last week I have been to Jerusalem twice, had classes, celebrated Shabbat (The Sabbath), went to the Mediterranean Sea in Tel Aviv, gone on our Benjamin field trip, and had more classes. The days seem to be flying by and all mixed together. It is nonstop here. I absolutely love it and still can't believe I am where Jesus was and will return to. My absolute favorite part has been going to different locations, opening the Bible, and reading passages that talk about the location we are at. Sometimes I don't fully grasp it till I get back on the bus and think oh my word, I was just at the spot where the Israelites conquered the Amorites, where the wall of Jericho fell, where Jesus was the night He prayed to the father let this cup pass over me, where Abraham Isaac and Jacob walked along the Road of the Patriarchs, where Jesus will one day split the Mount of Olives in two when he returns. I feel like I am reading the Bible for the first time and it is amazing. One huge thing I have been realizing is how huge the world is. There are so many different ethnicities, cultures, and religions represented in Israel. Sometimes I feel like Americans are so into themselves, especially in Las Angeles (Hollywood). I don't think I fully realized how much is out there and how much I truly take for granted. On Saturday while at the Mediterranean I and three others were able to witness to an Israeli named Ido. His view on life was that we are gonna die eventually so while alive live life to its fullest. He said if there is a heaven and a hell I will definitely go to hell, but I am fine with that. There are so many who are lost because their eyes are closed to the truth. Here I am continually reminded of how blessed I am that God chose me and opened my eyes to his truth.</div><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a cave across from the Moshav (where we are staying in Yad Hashmona). We hiked there during our first week in between classes. I don't think we realized what we were in for. We walked down a steep hill then up the other side. The only problem was there was no trail and lots of thorny bushes. Our legs were definitely scratched up after, but it was really fun. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After class on Tuesday Kayla, Rebecca, and I decided to go try the winepress. We picked some very old grapes and smashed them with our feet. Isaiah 5:1-8, Matthew 21:33, Joel 3:13, Isaiah 63, and Rev 14:17 all mention winepresses. Normally the winepress is a time of joy, but places in scripture use the winepress as a metaphor of the wrath that God will bring in the end times. </td></tr>

Every book of the Bible was represented except Esther. The fact that the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered and survived over thousands of years is only because of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Early Wednesday morning we once again headed to the Old City of Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our first stop was The Temple Mount.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Bible mentions the temple often.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In John 2 God comes and cleanses the temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sanhedrin asked him by what authority do you do this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His response was destroy this temple and in three days I will rebuild it; the people were confused by this statement, but as events unfolded it was clear that Jesus was referring to the Temple of His body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The purpose of coming to earth was not political but was to die.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He knew he came to die and without his death and resurrection the power of death would not have been broken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once on the Temple Mount the Dome of the Rock is clearly seen in its entirety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is covering some bedrock, which may be the place of the Holy of Holies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The structures were originally built in 70 AD because of Islamic tension and have been refurbished over the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Temple Mount used to be the place where God dwelt in the Ark of the Covenant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today God does not make himself known in a physical structure as he lives in us now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the Temple Mount we went and viewed the Western Wall, this is the closest the Jews can get to the temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that we went to the Pools of Bethesda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really enjoyed seeing the Pools of Bethesda, as they were nothing I had imagined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel like many of the places we have visited are different than what I thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always picture the flannel board stories that I was taught in Sunday school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One main reason I have loved being in Israel is that the Bible is coming to life; I can actually picture what I am reading about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Pools of Bethesda were quite impressive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John 5:1-15 talks about the Pools as this is where Jesus healed a man, who had been lame for thirty-eight years, on the Sabbath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the Pools of Bethesda we walked along the eastern wall, down the Kidron Valley, and then up the Mount of Olives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am sure we were all glad to be to the top as it was quite the hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The view was incredible as we were able to look out over the Kidron Valley, the City of David, and Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While walking up the Mount of Olives I was picturing different events in the Bible that took place here as well as when Jesus comes back and splits the Mount in half.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Words cannot express what I am trying to say or felt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All I know is it will be a moment like none other. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">We then descended the Mount of Olives and headed to the Garden of Gethsemane.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Gethsemane means pressing the olives.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Hear Jesus was pressed while he prayed in the garden the night he was betrayed (Matthew 26).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The location today may not be the exact location, but extremely close.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">While in the Garden scenes from the Bible just kept running through my head and I realized how little I made them when they are monumental.

A week ago was my second visit to the Old City and I felt as if it was my first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still trying to get myself situated and remember the names of locations, which seems to be a slow process. The Hebrew and Aramaic languages are wonderful yet so confusing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I only wish I had done some studying this summer to become somewhat familiar with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our first trip as a whole group began Wednesday morning when thirty-four of us loaded onto a bus, left the Moshav, located in Yad HaShmonah, and headed for Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While on the bus we learned our first Hebrew song, which is Psalm 136:1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We passed through the cities of Qiryat Ye’arim, Abu Gosh, and Mevasseret.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once in Jerusalem we were dropped off near the Old City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jerusalem is built on two hills, the Eastern Hill and the Western Hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Old City is divided into the Christian, Armenian, Moslem, and Jewish Quarters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The actual location of the Old City today is not the same as Jesus’ time; however it is close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1536AD the Turks rebuilt the walls in Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They lost control during WWI to the British.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We entered through Jaffa Gate, one of six of the gates leading into the Old City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jaffa Gate is in the shape of an L so as to slow down traffic coming in and out of the city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Part of the wall next to Jaffa Gate is broken down allowing cars access into the city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kaiser Wilhelm broke down that part of the wall so as to make an entrance when he took over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our first stop in the Old City was at the citadel, the Tower of David located in the Armenian Quarter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today the Tower of David is a museum and overlooks all of the Old City of Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a breathtaking view as we were able to see the Dome of the Rock, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Mount of Olives, and so much more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Located next to the east wall is the Kidron Valley; and next to the west and south wall is the Hinnon Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These valleys aid in protecting the city from enemies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no valley to the north thus the north wall is easily accessed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the Tower of David we went to Ali Baba Souvenir Shop, which is owned by Shaaban.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There we were able to exchange our American money for Israeli money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was astonished by Shaaban’s hospitality and trust with the group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Shaabans we headed to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher located in the Christian Quarter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to time we were not able to go inside, but were able to view it from the outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is one of the possible locations of the crucifixion and burial site of Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was mind boggling to think that I was actually there and I can’t wait to go back and go inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there we headed to the Jewish Quarter and saw part of the wall that Hezekiah built.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was twenty feet wide and was built to strengthen the defenses of Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After, we viewed a video about the Old City. The Old City is located next to the Gihon Spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to Israel’s climate there is not much water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wherever one finds water one will find cities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never realized how much I take for granted especially when it comes to water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still trying to grasp all that has taken place and the importance of different events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our last stop of the day was at the Christ Church, an Anglican Church, located in the Armenian Quarter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking back I feel like we saw so much, yet there is so much more to see and so much more I need to take in and remember about the places we went.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything I saw seems so insignificant yet is so significant in relation to Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the beginning of the day we were asked why does the Bible maintain that God is the God of one city in all the earth?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why is His name attached to one city and one place?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had never thought of this before, but He did it to make Himself known.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By attaching Himself to one city God’s divine is perceived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is where the divine comes into contact with the mundane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The divine is involved in breaking the power of sin and death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After my second day in the Old City I am beginning to realize how insignificant I am and how incredibly amazing God is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so excited to see the rest of God’s Holy Land and to see what he has in store for my time here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know He is going to grow, strengthen, and challenge me in ways I never thought possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><!--EndFragment-->Hannah Fullerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383624752340258336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618444495068944107.post-8113922569654646492011-09-09T22:26:00.001+03:002011-09-09T22:27:04.898+03:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhn-fQFOnaxEV_olIocEu4N2FeQYN_9__JHIzigvoDUZIv947fFDZ4FAxnytIWLI8pnRpTqou8wZf0xmZcWNpjxtzzzPuLP3w5CvJx-2xJSmfrJCHztpIp9UJUWmubgihGc9Tw9_9WYdI/s1600/IMG_1055.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhn-fQFOnaxEV_olIocEu4N2FeQYN_9__JHIzigvoDUZIv947fFDZ4FAxnytIWLI8pnRpTqou8wZf0xmZcWNpjxtzzzPuLP3w5CvJx-2xJSmfrJCHztpIp9UJUWmubgihGc9Tw9_9WYdI/s640/IMG_1055.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Hannah Fullerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383624752340258336noreply@blogger.com0
