Crap, I'm Going to Israel

A note from Jennilee:

So, you know that whole feeling where you will be doing something big soon, but it's just not soon enough to enter the realm of your conscious reality. It stays in its little world of hazy eventualities and "some day"s. However, now it seems as the hours and minutes tick by, and Friday becomes Saturday and Saturday becomes Sunday that soon, oh very soon, it will be Wednesday. On Wednesday I'm leaving for Israel. Wow, I'm actually leaving. The world will no longer consist solely of a few small towns in New York and one small campus in Langhorne, PA.
How exciting...how scary...how... weird.

...

But, I'm ok with that.

I feel the same way, maybe it will hit me on the phone. I am scared to think about it, because I get so overwhelmed with fear...

i like the title by the way!

Jennilee and Claire,
You think you have mixed feelings about this trip? Try being the mother! I too am scared and excited for you. I have been on adventures myself and hope to do some again. I am jealous of your trip to walk where Jesus walked. To actually see the towns that are just names in the Bible to me. I knoe the map project was a pain to do over the summer- but for me to see that map and know the names and realize you'd been in those places was wonderful.
I know that God will be with both of you- so I lay my fears at His feet.
I knew that one day my children would grow and go into the world, but I just don't know where the years have gone. Jennilee- you are a great lady who will do great things for God. I love you.
Claire- I love you too. And though sneakers do not make the fashion statement you want- you are so beautiful that they will not detract. Hane a wonderful trip and I hope time slows for the months you are in Israel.
May God bless and keep you both.
