yep, mind blowing. I wanted to go to Israel for years, X never wanted to. After she moved out, my church announced they still had some opening for the upcoming trip so, 9 months after she left, I was in Israel. So many incredible experiences while there that it is hard to describe. I know I was particularly aware of thinking "Jesus walked through that door" when I was in Capernaum. The remains of a temple that was built on top of a temple stand today. At that site, they excavated part of the older temple below and we could see the door ways Jesus would have had to walk through.
Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Now, as great as that all was, my closest encounters with the Lord have been times I realizing how awesome God is and how insignificant I am and yet, He wants to have a relationship with me. This humbles me beyond my ability to describe it. At times like that, all I can do is cry tears of joy in appreciation.
Just now, as I was about to respond to you, I was in a funk for a number of different reasons. As I complete this post, I am revitalized knowing just how much I am loved.
I will fight the traffic and get my kids to take them to church this evening and am expecting to be immensely blessed.
