I am so excited because today I finally received my passport! I can’t believe it finally came, but it did. I am very excited about using it because aside from Canada I have never been out of the United States of America. But now that I have my passport I can go anywhere in the world, so the first place I’m going is to Israel. (You may have figured that out from the flag
A few years ago I told my husband that once I graduated with my Masters Degree that in order to celebrate I wanted to visit the Holy Land. Well, I graduated in 2005 and now two years later I’ll get to go to the place where my Lord and Savior Jesus walked.
I am really excited because I have read the bible for so long and everyone who has ever gone to Israel tells me that the bible will turn from black and white into technicolor. Well, I’m excited about that experience!
Not only do I get to go to Israel with my husband, but I also get to go with two of my favorite bible teachers. Kay Arthur from Precept Ministries is going to be leading a tour on one day, and Janet Parshall from Janet Parshall’s America will be doing another day. Then there are three other women teachers who will be teaching the remainder of the week.
My passport is also very cool looking. On the outside it’s a dark blue color with the words PASSPORT - United States of America and inside it has the following written on the first page.
“The Secretary of State of the United States of America hereby requests all whom it may concern to permit the citizen/national of the United States named therein to pass without delay or hindrance and in case of need to give all lawful aid and protection.”
It also has quotes from the United States Constitution and quotes from our Founding Fathers.
Here’s a quote - “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair.” - George Washington
“We have a great dream. It started way back in 1776, and God grant that America will be true to her dream.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Pretty cool. Do you have a passport?
