Falasha Jew

While sitting in the ER waiting room last Friday night I had the privilege of meeting a Falasha Jew. This woman had such an understanding of the scriptures, quiet demeanor, and joy in knowing the Messiah of Israel. Truly, she made an admirable impression on me. The lady is on the nursing staff at the hospital. Without being forward she was able to explain ways to do the work easier and better to one of her coworkers.

Growing up , this lady's mother had taught her the prayers in Hebrew which she is still able to recite being well into adulthood, She was taught many things from the Tenach. ( You should have heard her tell names for Elohim that is in Hebrew) Later in coming to the United States she had joined a Messianic Synagogue. Her face radiated love and joy.

This lady reminds me of the scriptures in Isaiah. "Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north , Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him yea I have made him.

Today we see the Jews being brought back to Israel from all directions, all lands and all countries. It is thrilling to see G-d's word being fullfilled .

North Carolina

I have not lived here all my life and am still getting aclimated to the weather and the culture. After six years I am starting to enjoy the area. The weather is almost acceptable. This summer my toes actually warmed up and I perspired for some of the days. Now that it is cooling off again it is uncomfortable to me but not like in the past. When you read this post we will have been in the mountains of North Carolina to see the changing colors of the leaves. Oh, am I looking forward to seeing the beauty of G-d's handiwork displayed.

Now that we are back from the Blue Ridge Mountains and Franklin, NC I can say we were not disappointed and it was not what I was expecting. From the pictures you can see the lack of fall colors. We were a little late for that. What we did see was snow and ice on the Blue Ridge Parkway(which was so scenic.) The trip that should have taken 6 hours took us eleven hours and was so beautiful. Yes It would be fun to go again and try to see more autumn leaves, to explore all the little towns. There is so much to see and do in the mountains. Maybe there will be another opportunity to go again.
