Almost Home

It's 1:45 in the afternoon and I just kissed Zach goodnight. It's almost 11:00pm in Jerusalem. Believe me, we are both ready to be done with this expanse of time and space that is separating us.

When he wakes up, it will be the beginning of his last day in Israel. They will be visiting all of the notable crucifiction and resurrection sites, going through the Holocaust Museum and then heading for the airport and home. Their plane leaves in the middle of the night. It sounds like it would be an emotionally and physically exhausting day on it's own. Instead, it's been preceded by about 11 equally challenging days. Please pray that Zach is able to enjoy this last part of his voyage. He is so thankful he's been able to take part in this trip. It's been the experience of a lifetime; such a blessing. At the same time, though, he misses home.

Thank you, Jesus, for your presence and for your protection. Thank you that you will never leave us or forsake us... Thank you for bringing my husband home safely.
