Jerusalem photo diary

Garden of Olives in Gethsemany  is a garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem most famous as the place where, according to the gospels, Jesus and his disciples are said to have prayed the night before he was arrested, the day before his death.

We went at Mount of Olives to see the view of The city of Jerusalem. It was an amazing travel for me because before I am just looking on the pictures in this biblical place but now I got the opportunity to be here. Entering on the tomb of Jesus was unexplainable. Before, I was just reading on the bible about this tomb, but now i got the chance to enter it.  And of course! the most challenging experience for me is riding on a camel. I was afraid at first because I was thinking that the camel would run or something. Haha. and yes! 3 points again for facing my fear:D

Have a Good Day!

Scar for Life

 

Matthew 18:21-22 ESV Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” (22) Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

For this past few days, because of this verse I realized something that I should do. Eventhough its difficult, I should forgive those people who had hurt me before. In order to forgive, I should forget those things that they have done even if it leaves a scar and even if its difficult to trust again. I know because of those pains, God has a purpose for all of it. I Just want to be grateful to God that it happened.  

For my outfit, I wore this when I was in Israel. I love how the leaves had complement the print of my blazer. The blazer was given by Jhun Ador, designer of my gowns during my JS Prom.

Israel Day 4 to 5

 Our first stop was on the "Theatre of Beth-She'an". Beth She'an is th best-preserved  theatre discovered in Israel. Performance at the theatre are presented in daytime The people of Beth She'an preferred lighter entertainment, mainly pantomimes and imitations. Sometimes this theatre was served as a gathering place where the citizens could air their views on social and political issues.

If you wonder why there faces was like that, it's because they are pretending to poop. funny right? This place  was the public latrine of Beth She'an. Only the wealthy could afford private lavatories. Public latrines like this were built in various neighborhoods for the convenience of their residents.

The view in front of our room in our hotel is Dead Sea. Look how beautiful is it. I regret i didn't swam there during my stay because my mom won't allow us:(

Our second stop was on Solomon's pillar in Timma Valley. Timna is considered the place the first mines on Earth. These were copper mines developed by Egyptians about six thousand years ago. It is also believed to be the place of copper mining under King Solomon. And due to this belief, the name 'King Solomon's Mines' is often associated with Timna. Most of the rocks in Timna valley consist of sandstone. Sandstone is a base material for unique geological formations in Timna like Solomon's Pillars.

For the fifth day we spent our whole day sailing at the Red Sea.  I faced my fear of heights during this time because I had tried to go for parasailing, at first I was so scared but I conquered it. I am so proud of myself for doing that. It was a once in a lifetime experience. 

So guys, don't be afraid to try new things. It might scare you for a while but if you believe that you can do it, You Can!
Have a good day everyone!:)
