Walking Where Jesus Walked

By

Hey friends! I’m currently in Israel with my daughter, Kelsey, and 34 other fabulous women! We fly home on Thursday night, so we have 3 more days here. We’ve seen and done so much, yet it’s still surreal to be here. To walk where Jesus walked.  But what has made the biggest impression on me is how much BETTER God is than I ever imagined.
