A Pilgrimage that Started with Tears

Who would think I would shed tears deciding to set out on a wonderful journey that I have longed to take for many years? Before I was ready to fully accept God’s invitation for a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, I had to journey to a place of agreement between what my soul wanted and what the Lord wanted for me. For years I have been declining opportunities to travel to Israel—not because I didn’t want to go but because I wanted to go with my husband by my side.

One Year

One week, one month, and now one year has passed since my world was turned up-side-down. At first time felt like an eternity, each day the reality that my beloved husband was no longer with me here on earth drug on and felt like it would never resolve. Now that a significant amount of time has passed, it doesn’t seem possible that we have lived through one whole year without him. How did we get here? Where have we been?

Our souIs are opened to a deeper u...
