A Month in Pictures!

I am finally posting pictures of where I live and some of our experiences thus far! (Start at the bottom and scroll up to see them in chronological order)

(Ancient Ashkelon)

(Abraham's Well. Beer Sheva means 7 wells, named after Abraham's wells)

(Chautauqua Park, Boulder, CO. The place where God made it clear that I could decide to come to Israel and He would be here, waiting for me.)


(Red Rocks, Colorado. Day 1 of my decision to come to Israel for medical school: Where I struggled with a lot of doubt and realized I needed to surrender a lot of "what-ifs", things, and people that I was afraid to leave behind regardless of whether I decided to go to PH School or Med School)

"This is the first day of the rest of your life." [Matt Maher, 'Hold us Together')
These lyrics have echoed in my head from the start of this journey, beginning in this first picture, until now.
