Sisterhood in Israel Video

This is a video my friend Karina from New York made of our recent trip to Israel. It's beautiful and brings back memories of our special time spent there. In fact it makes me want to go back!

I still have so much to share with you so stay tuned. Until then, watch this video.

Spreading love.

Yesterday afternoon, I went with the Pastor's wife of my church, Mrs Cristiane, to visit residents at a Nursing Home. Prior to the visit, I was given a list of the first names of all the residents of the section we were going to visit. This was so I could buy, wrap and present them with a gift individually. For those who could still read, they were presented with Bibles. The others received bath/shower gift sets, and pampering gift sets. Each one was wrapped with love and a sincere prayer for God to bless them and above all lead them to accept and know Him.

Our time spent there was enjoyable and precious. We talked with them, laughed and sang with them. We also felt their pain. For those who could not speak, through their eyes, I could see a cry for help and for the pain to end. If we were allowed to, I would have laid hands and prayed for their healing and freedom. But that did not stop me from praying within me and they will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Those who received the Bible said “thank you for the beautiful gift”. Beautiful indeed, is the Word of God. Another precious gift given to all was our time. The time we took to sit with them, listen to them and comfort them with words of love and hope. Below are some pictures I took whilst preparing the gifts and also of our visit to the Care Home :)

Sisterhood - My first personal challenge

Following Saziso's idea of writing a daily 'report' of how we are finding the sisterhood rules and tasks I’ve decided to do one. Yesterday we were introduced to the sisterhood here in Nottingham and i was very excited...until I read the don’ts. For me some of them were a bit extreme especially because I only wear jeans and sweat pants. I don’t wear makeup and I don’t cook (yes, i am always seen eating some sort of fast food or sandwich). But because I really want to change and become a true woman of God I accepted the rules and decided to take action straight away.

This morning I woke up early and went to the shop to buy eggs, sausages and other things to make breakfast at home with. I rarely eat at home and I saw this as a opportunity to show God that I am serious about this. For some making breakfast may be nothing but for me it is something because how can I cook lunch or dinner for others (which I will have to do during the rush week) if I can’t even simply prepare the first meal of the day for myself. It took up a lot of my time( and I made mistakes) but I felt good after because not only did I save money and ate something much healthier than a McDonalds breakfast but I have a bit of confidence in preparing meals for myself.

Its only the first day and I know there is much more to come but I am willing to learn and looking forward to the changes. I’m challenging myself to only eat home cooked meals this week. I’ll let you know how it goes.
