Israel - last day

"How do you process what you just lived?"
A friend asked me.
"I write, sing, dance, stretch, paint. And for the first time I could cry yesterday".
I stay away from people who want to tell me their bla about what is right and wrong.
Let me share with you my story of the last weeks
Friday 13 of october, 2023
This is my last day in Israel... What a land... I love these people... 
Zohar's dad drives me in the morning to the airport.
"Don't be polite. If you want something, don't be polite." He is preparing me for the airport vibe. 
I make some jokes after the security check outside of the airport: "so because of your unpoliteness he just recognized you are an Israeli?!" We both laughed.
Zohar's dad shed quietly some tears. I put my hand on his shoulder. "I am sorry that you have to witness this", he said. 
Yesterday he told me, he does not cry in front of anybody, at home he goes into a little room, where he sheds his tears. 
"You've got your food? Promise me, you come back, when this is over."
 "Of course. Stay safe! God bless you" 
Zohar's dad does not believe in God, but I think he took the blessing serious.
I leave. 
Ramon airport is really small. 2 days ago I arrived here. It feels like 2 monthes passed by. 
What is written there? My flight is delayed...?! No, please, not again. 
The last time I saw this sign was in Tel Aviv some days ago. And my flight got canceled in the end.
I book another flight, with another company. I don't care. "Money comes back..."
I pray during the flight. 
Windowseat...What a view...
 I love you Israel.
I arrive safe in Tel Aviv. There are so many people in the airport and I have a whole day to stay here.
"Hey Bernadette!" I see my friend from Jerusalem coming towards me. We stayed in the same room in a hostel as the attack took place. Bernadette is a lady of over 80 years. She comes regularly to the Holy Land. I could learn a lot from her.
"An Israeli bought me a flight yesterday. 800€. To Dubai. What a blessing! All Praise to YAH. This woman did not know me, she said she saw something special in me, and bought me a flightticket! You know, what I answered? 'you see Yeshua'."
We smiled. 
This is how the Most High works. He is a loving father...
I accompagny Bernadette to her check in. She will be home safe, thank you YAH.
"See you in france? Continue to pray for Israel." 
We said goodbye. 
Also I saw Michael and brother Gregers at the airport. We spent lots of time together. Brother Gregers showed me around in Jerusalem, and baptized me in the Jordan River.
I felt gratitude, for they got that evacuation flight to denmark.
HalleluYAH
In the evening I sat in the airplane, a huge machine. I sat next to two blond women. One was crying so much. Her friend explained to me, that they were studying archeology in Israel. And that it is so hard to leave the land... And the people... "I feel you", I answered.
We started chatting. She explains that she reads the bible, for her job. "It has immense storical value." And "no, no... I don't believe in God, but yes... Yes... There is something bigger than us."
I arrive in germany. I took my mother in my arms, she cried so much.
I feel displaced. Everything here is the same. Inside of me there is this huge change. 
What a treasure... 
How could I ever explain to somebody what happens when you walk this piece of earth, with the right people?
Israel, thank you!
