Protein, Hydration & Travel
As some of you who follow my blog already know, John and I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime. Below I’m going to highlight some tips and tricks for maintaining lifestyle of health while traveling. Glean what you can!
We spent an entire week in Israel. What began in Tel Aviv, finished with most of the trip in Jerusalem touring as many historical and Biblical sights as we could. We went with a group, nearly 40 strong, lead by our Pastor and a Pastor from a church in

Anticipate The Suddenly!
“Then they were willing to let him in, and immediately the boat was where they were going!”
John 6:21
God can change your life in an instant.
One of the amazing highlights of our trip to Israel was visiting the very places that Jesus walked, talked, taught and lived. It creates another new level of animation to the soul of what life in his era was like. Now when I read I see the landscape vividly. Mind blowing detail manifests itself and I am grateful. Every ounce of me grateful.
We took a

Shekel For Your Thoughts
Where to begin…
This is the foremost thought on my mind tonight.
I’ve arrived home from one of the most favorite weeks of my life. I had no idea how much I’d love being in Israel. So much history. So much prophesy. So much …so much. I’ve unpacked my bags (because I’m a bit of a freak about putting things in order right away). I’ve had a light snack even though it’s “bedtime”, because I managed to lose 4 pounds on our trip somehow. And now I’m sitting down with my journal

Healing Virtue
True and Genuine Kindness is the dew of Heaven.
Each day in Israel has been packed full morning to night with excursions which brought my heart delight—so many they are all starting to blur together and then the few magnified and highlighted on my soul. Forever etched in gold.
Yesterday was probably the most personally significant day of our trip to Israel for me. I knew before coming I was traveling there to receive something. Powerful dreams engaged me at night leading up to Sunday.
On Sunday I received what I came for

I Am Delighted
The adventure continues…
I realize more every day what a trip of a lifetime we have made. Coming to Israel impacts the heart, the mind, the soul. It produces something special inside us all. I am loving everything about this trip. If you’ve ever desired to go to Israel, make the plan and go. Your hearts pleasure will not be denied.
So I continue to write about our dailies on this trip. Yesterday was so full of vibrant experiences that proved themselves worthy of all of the emotionally provocative feeling they produced.

The Law of Kindness
I made a post on Twitter the other morning. Actually—I believe it was yesterday. Our days are so packed full they seem to melt one to the other. But it must be pure gold because the beauty of this trip has only increased.
I invite you to my twitter thread if you don’t already follow me there. I keep that page mostly love, encouragement and inspiration. While my Instagram is mostly fitness/health related.
Anyway, I made this post about how extraordinary technology is. I tried to pack as light as I could

Kindness Kindles…
The Lord is Good and His Tender Mercies endure forever. Fragrant is the sweet smell of kindness. Aromatic are the fruit of the Spirit as they leave a trail of essential goodness.
Have you ever walked into a house while a dinner was cooking? The smell is so delicious, so inviting and brings a sense of comfort and “home” even if it’s not your home.
I mentioned in an earlier post that my husband and I are in Israel this week with a group from our Church. This evening

Finding Myself Stirred…
My body struggles to identify what time or day it is. My appetite has done much the same.
But despite a lack of sleep and not fully comprehending the day of the week, my soul is overjoyed—
I have travelled to the birth place of my Lord.
Few things in life have enticed me, heart and soul, as the relationship I have with my Lord.
So what does that mean really?
A religious experience is the last thing I may be interested in.
What has always drawn my gaze and advanced my stare is the ability

Big, Bright and Beautiful
Dream for bigger.
Believe for bigger.
Know that God made you for bigger.
Nobody else’s blessing is greater than yours. Why? Because it’s yours. That alone makes it special.
It’s my prayer that you might realize your dreams and I might share the joy of invigorating your tenacity to step out and employ every opportunity to live your best life. If you do it right, you will be blessing and helping others along the way. Sometimes the best way to helping others is to understand that your story and your life truly is not

Together sounds good doesn’t it?

Together has a layer of supplemental strength that can’t go wrong.
There is infinite power in together.
