Our Divorce (continued)
A
s I slowly settled under the wing of my sister and brother-in-law, I heard John was sinking further and further into not only alcohol but also drugs. Our children who were still trying to contact him, but could no longer reach him, which did not make the situaion of our divorce any easier. Meanwhile, God's plan for my life turned out to continue despite everything that was going on. I enjoyed the peace and love with which I was embraced by my family. A heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders i enjoyed every day. I no longer had to tiptoe and felt immense freedom. I felt God's presence in everything I experienced.One day my sister and brother-in-law told me that they had felt separately that it would be good if I went to Israel again. I didn't expect that at all in this situation, moreover I didn't have the money for that! But that same morning we were visiting another sister and brother-in-law who suggested the same thing without knowing about each other. I understood that this could not be a coincidence, but how? When we came home in the afternoon and emptied the mailbox, there was an Israel newsletter for me. I read with interest the latest news from the messianic congregations. On the back of the magazine, I noticed an ad and prayer call for new volunteers in the Carmel Branch in Haifa.
The busy season of the Feast of Tabernacles was approaching and many hands were needed to accommodate the expected guests. My heart skipped a beat because the organization that made this call was precisely the church in Haifa that I had visited with Fia at the time and where we were so impressed by the miracles that God had done in this church. Moreover, it had been my long-time desire to do volunteer work in Israel. God had a plan for me in Israel that became clear to me.
