Dear diary,
I just came back from a 2 weeks holiday from the Holy Land (Israel & Jordan) and had an amazing time of spiritual journey, adventure, self discovery, love and friendship. It is an unforgettable trip and I'm glad to have gone ahead, and embarked on this at an age of twenty seven.
Life is a journey and we're all discovering... the world, history, cultures, people who has survived in another land so different, and in relation to it, our purpose and mission in life. What is God's will for me? I want to seek it and do it. I'm unhappy to remain in my current position if there is a chance to do more, to stretch myself and fulfill my potential in this world. You see my friend, we all have gifts endowed from God and we need to use it and refine them, contribute to the world to make it a better place. To live a life of true Christianity and make disciples of people.
Having been to the Sea of Galilee and enjoying the peaceful waters and hazy shores, we visited to the Mount of Beatitudes and the Church of the Multiplication at Tabgha.
- Galilee is where Jesus walked on water, where Jesus called his disciples Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John, where he appeared to the disciples after resurrection.
- Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus preached the sermon of blessings to his followers
- Tabgha where in faith, Jesus performed the miracle of multiplying 5 loaves & 2 fishes from a boy into a satisfying meal for thousands of people.
- Mount Tabor where the transfiguration took place. I didn't visit but saw pictures.
We also went to Jaffa old port in 2 beautiful nights whereby Paul had the dream of Gentiles being able to be saved by grace, where Solomon built his port to get cedars from Lebanon, and where Jonah set off and was in the stomach of the big fish due to disobedience.
- Mount Carmel where Elijah performed the miracle of fire against the Baal prophets, and we even went to see his cave!
- Caesara city that
