My son had the brilliant idea of wanting to go see the holy lands of Israel. Our church decided to offer the opportunity to do a pilgrimage to Israel and Palestine in April of 2021. I never thought he would be interested in doing something like this but then I started getting excited about the thought of going on a trip like this.
But the cost is a lot and I am looking for different ways to pay for it over this next year. It would be a guided trip and is right now determined to be safer to travel to than even areas of the United States right now. This particular trip is being organized through our local church The company offering this opportunity is called Pathfinders. They specialize in organizing Journeys of faith to places that are of historical religious significance. You can do trips to Rome, Greece, Ireland, Germany and Mexico to name a few.
Now my son has been diagnosed with a syndrome called Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome. It means he has an extra electrical node in his heart that can cause his heart to start racing like crazy. There is a surgery that will eliminate this extra electrical node in his heart. We tried to get it scheduled last summer but were put on a wait list last minute due to complications at Children’s Hospital in Seattle. It looks like we will be able to get it done this summer.
I only mention this because I think it would be a great way to celebrate us getting past this. I think a trip like this would be something to look forward to going on. I would love to turn this trip into a video blog while we are there. As we move forward I will be updating this blog. I am putting my trust in God to help us find a way to get our funds together and open the door to go to Israel.
