Life in the Refiner’s Fire
Mount to Tomb
There’s so much beauty, seeing the Old City from the Mount of Olives. We got to do just that. This post is going to to be photo heavy, so enjoy one of my favorite day excursions I had my whole Zealous career. I’ll share the most impactful moments for me on this day last October.
Day 5: Masada
One of my personal favorite locations in all of Israel is the fortress built atop a mountain. The ruins today still stand between the Dead Sea and the Desert. As a lover of (ancient) history and fantasy novels, this location uncontrollably sparked my imagination.
Day 4: A Day & Night in the Desert
Oh boy. Where to begin with this day? Walking through the beautiful ruins of a demolished ancient city? Epic.
Day 3: Park to Park & Dinner in the Dark
Welcome back, everybody. I’m going to share today about the third day of our trip. I started to really struggle with feeling homesick the week that we went on this trip, towards the end of August.
Day 2: Around the Galilee
Hey everybody! Be warned for a super text-and-photo heavy post. So much happened. This, like every day of this trip, was so, so amazing. I’m so excited to tell you about my day around the Galilee.
Day 1: Arbel to Migdal.
At the end of August, Zealous 6 went on a 5 day trip around Israel. This excursion was so much fun, I’ve been to places I had never thought I’d get to see in person.
Old City: Z6 Crash Course
Shalom, y’all, and Happy New Year! I can’t believe that I’ve been here for 6 months, and it’s already 2022. I grew up with people telling me, and I didn’t believe it… But years do indeed get shorter as you get older.
Scavenger Hunt
Before Angela (the last roommate for the gals house) was here, the 6/7 Zealous group did our first miniature excursion in Jerusalem. It was a day full of learning our way around the city and learning about some of the important pit stops and some of the history of those places.
In The Spirit of Hanukkah
Shalom, y’all! I do have a schedule I’m trying to stick to for this blog, and this post is sort of a bonus, JUST FOR YOU! Because why not talk about the holiday that I’m experiencing, now that I have this set up?
