Summer in Chicago

Well I realize it's been forever since I last updated this (3 months). I have no good excuses, I just haven't done it. As of this writing, I'm in Chicago with my family. After all the medical stuff that happened in Israel, I'm here getting some rest and trying to get some health coverage so I can get things taken care of.

Israel was of course amazing and I can't wait to go back! Once I returned to the U.S. I spent a month in Richmond (part of that time was having lots of meetings) and then made my way to Chicago. On the way here I got to participate in The Call in Nashville. This was a gathering of 100,000 believers who joined together to seek G-d, repent, and call for revival in the U.S. It was a really fantastic time and I'm glad I went.

A few days after I arrived in Chicago we had our family reunion, and that was really nice. It's always great seeing everyone. And this past weekend was the UMJC (Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations) conference, here in the Chicago area, and I got to attend.

While there I got to see people I know from California, people from my congregation in Richmond, even people I met in Israel. And more importantly, I got to see G-d's provision in some amazing ways. I didn't have the money to pay for the conference, but I figured I had enough to pay for just one day. So I went out there planning to spend a day and our base director from Richmond, Jaime flew in for the conference as well. Well as it happened, Jaime had sprained his ankle while playing soccer and couldn't get around very well. So I got him a wheelchair from the hotel where the conference was held and pushed him around to his meetings. And though I couldn't pay for the whole thing, since I was serving as his personal assistant, one of the conference organizers decided to let me attend the whole thing for free, rather than just a day. And since I had to drive Jaime around to find food, he paid for all my meals. It was funny because there were also a few other times that I was given free stuff. So it was all a wonderful reminder of G-d's provision and His love for me.

Well that's it for now. I'm supposed to be going to India next month with a team of 6 from the JWO, however my money hasn't come in yet and my health issues are still up in the air, so we'll see what happens. Please keep me in prayer-

Until next time...

Blessings to you all,
Monica
