Everything from the wind and the willows.

As far as everything else goes in Jerusalem. Things are going well, and mutually very hard and intense at the same time. I have started learning Hebrew at an Ulpan, called Milah. It is a very difficult language but at the same time it really gives me something to work on, and I find it very helpful and am learning a lot about the culture because of it. I study in class 7 hours a week, which means i have just as much homework if not more. Work has been consisting of a lot of hard labor. At the moment I am working in a food bank and am doing a lot of heavy lifting and packaging food for the jewish communities. I must admit that it gets very tolling physically, and is a very humbling position. I am also going to a 24/7 prayer house consistently and have found that to be such a place of peace. My attitude changes depending on the day. It is one of the hardest experiences I have every gone through, yet at the same time I have never felt closer to the Lord and our intimacy is growing daily. And while that also means more tearing away and stripping away, He is drawing me in, in ways that I have never experienced. I am looking forward to the shabbat tomorrow and the time of rest. I hope all is well with those of you that visit this site. And may God be your peace.
