GLBL 298 Immigration and Cultural Diversity in Israel
Winter Break Study Abroad Trip
29 December 2010 - 13 January 2011
Israel was
- delicious
- sore
- heart-breaking
- a mental jail
- annoying (at times)
- soul-stretching
- a safe asylum
- full of store bought religion
- sleepy eye creating
- emotionally intense
- identity sculpting
- liberating
- team building
- reflective
- mind opening
- time pinching
- bohemian
- confusing
- strength building
- expensive
- passionate
- charm donating
- beautiful
- tourist friendly
- justice lacking
- enslaving
- completely needed (for me, at least)
From this trip I've learned:
1. to dive in, get my head above water, and navigate my way towards God. He is my lifeguard.
2. that God is my greatest source of comfort and joy.
3. when I dislike someone, it is usually because they reflect the ugly in me.
interpret these as you would like. ask me of you're curious.
