bike riding and random meetings

i am more than excited right now. i feel a super good peace from God just about everything.

it is 10 days until i am to fly to india (Lord willing over all plans and my entire life!).
i am just short the plane ticket by about a hundred dollars... it looks as if i will be purchasing a one-way flight there and continue trusting for further funds to purchase the ticket to germany while i am there (in india).

how good is it though, that we can come to a point of going somewhere without anything we think we need, and be filled with such a peace that we are in the hands of Someone larger than life!

thank God, for the blessings of He showers us with!

last night i was priviledged to spend time with the youth group from New Heights Church here in spokane. i love those kids, and am truly excited for how God will continually use them to change this city... this world! no kiddin! it will happen!

yesterday morning i attended a russian church. it was tough in the sense of the opposite cultures that i am used to. but i have no doubt i was suppose to be there.
the russian language is so beautiful and i have been so excited to learn it.. but i have to remember to continue on german and rely fully on God's continual grace as i try and get some basics in hindi as well. may He just expand my mind...

it is suppose to be 40s in spokane this week.. so i will enjoy riding my bike and possibly wearing sandels...

sometimes it's rather overwhelming at the thought of all that God is doing.. all the people He has brought into my life.. or have brought me into the lives of... and to think that He is doing something soooo good in each and everyones life... past comprehension. but sometimes when i can grasp even a sliver amount of this, i can not resist crying. not light tears falling down my face, or even heavy tears... but heavy sobbing! where nothing else matters because He just hit you with a kiss of reality.

i love you all so much. and thank you so much for the prayers and taking time out of your lives, schedules, plans to catch up on what He is doing in my life. i am certainly blessed to have your attention and prayers.

tonight is a college group that i have been looking forward to for some time!
and i pray that God will continue to set up meetings to see all who i am suppose to see while here in spokane.

*if you are wanting to support.. please do it from a cheerful heart. i would rather you not give if you are going to beat yourself up later for it. but know that those of you who do give should trust God because He is more than capable to provide for both of our needs.

time for bike riding and random meetings!

may He totally take us deeper.. someplace that is evident of Him and His glory!

viel Liebe, israel
