Email Exchange with Rich Harris while I try to sort through all that God is doing.
Awesome to hear from you. I will tell you that this is as hard as I can remember. I have been facing all kinds of emotions, questions, etc.
The LORD continues to tell me to take it day by day and to walk by His Spirit. Wow.
I moved out of Jack’s old place this am. Was hard there too. Kinda creepy. No furniture or nothing in an empty house. I slept on my air mattress in his old room. I move in with him today for a few days. We are thinking 12 days. Jack isnt high on everything. He wants me to have a job and a place of my own.
I dont disagree. He is hot on me being here with him.
So, I am starting to reach out to folks in Franklin. I went to that church there yesterday. The presence of God was strong in service #2. They preached on apostles. It was speaking to me big time. I believe that is home.
I have a couple meetings coming up and am pretty much applying to any job I can somewhat fit into. I need stability in jobs for potential housing. It’s no wonder that folks want you with income…lol.
God is really working on me hearing Him for myself. It is a big deal. I didnt realize how messed up I had gotten. Laura did some damage, if I am honest. I havent spoken to her since I left. I just pray for her.
Anyway, I love you. Thanks for praying.
I pray for you as well. God bless you, bro.
Grace

Erev tov (good evening) John,
Ma nishma (How’s it going)?
Sounds like a good word to me. As I am in a similar position. Now renting a room with (kitchen and bath sharing) for 2500 NIS per month. The house is owned by a religious guy (Baptist) who follows John McArthur and that group – we had a few words last night at Shabbat dinner. Wow two different worlds……………..!!!
Tiki closed the BNB as I shared a couple months ago. She now lives about 1.5 kilometers from me and works 3 blocks away. Now we text and talk on the phone. I am looking into taking an Ulpan (Hebrew language course where only Hebrew is spoken and written). I will apply for the one year course so that I can possibly get a One year visa here.
This is not from God directly – but I think you should get into that church He has shown you, build relationships. As far as work goes be led directly by the Holy Spirit. Personally I would go for full time work something you can do and enjoy without making it a career based thing.
Bless you bro – you are in my prayers,

Hi John,
Nice to hear from you. It will be tough from time to time but God work’s in us during those times, because we are eager to hear from Him. I have a couple concerns for prayer. One I need to get back in the country for at least another 3 months as my visa expires September 8. I want to move into the Arad apartment on September 1. The current renter says she will leave on that date – pray she does. The Arad apartment will be cheaper than the room I currently rent here.
Tiki and I seem to be getting closer since the closure of the BNB. We had a beautiful dinner out on Sunday night after she got off work. We both acknowledged that we liked being together – she is a special lady from God. I am just thankful to be with her from time to time. Pray that we both hear God clearly about our relationship. She is amazing in her love for God – I so respect that!
My friend I believe you are making a good move to be with your son for a time. God has the plan already drawn and He will reveal it to at the very right time. The next move will be easier – remember the job is not a career move but something you do well and enjoy! I believe it will have something to do with your love of the outdoors, nature, etc. or just smoking a cigar……………..LOL.
Love you dude,
Rich
