Israel Week 1

In Atlanta...

Well, we got to Atlanta today around 8:30pm. We left the school at 1, so we made it in pretty good time. The directions to the hotel said 175 Piedmont.. but 175 Piedmont was a building under construction. I got a little nervous but, Ryan was smart and saved the hotel reservations. We called and are here now. Praise the Lord! haha
We are leaving tomorrow at 10 for the airport and fly out at 3:30pm to JFK. We leave JFK at 9pm and will arrive in Israel at 2:15 pm. I'm very excited but a little nervous. This is going to be a trip of a lifetime. My prayer is to draw closer to God. I had a friend pray for me last night and then said "As your walking through Jerusalem, everyone will be in awe of the sites, but you, you take advantage and draw close to God in that moment and realize that this is where Jesus was." This is my prayer... to draw closer to God despite where everyone else is in their walk physically and spiritually.
I'm pretty sure I remembered everything... I did forget to give that reciept to Misty (sorry :-/) but other than that I think I'm good.. now the test is to see if my bag is 50lbs.. uh oh. I DO have the heaviest bag of everyone with me.. ugh.
