Shalom! Hello, goodbye, peace - total peace is shalom. Welcome. May you leave encouraged. This website will tell you a bit about me, and i pray, much about Yeshua Jesus.
Although you will see my vocation info, running info, many photos, book info - my passion and i pray your passion, is knowing Jesus. Knowing Jesus is all that matters in life.
Do you know Jesus or just know about Him?
my prayer is that you know Him. His name in Hebrew is Yeshua, His name means salvation. In His name is all you need for this life and the life after this. Trust Him, give Him the steering wheel of your life.
shalom,
barri
Hosea 6:3a
"So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn"
A bit about these writings. Have you ever been in a desolate place? In 1999, I was told by my employer, that I would relocated from Nashville to Kansas. I was most upset with this news, as I loved Nashville, and all my Jewish family was in Kansas City, many family members did not approve of my faith as they are Orthodox Jews. I knew I was to move. In relocation transit, on vacation at the Messianic conference in PA, I broke my right foot while worship-dancing the hora (Barry and Batya Segal were leading worship that night). The break was so bad that when I got to KC, the doctor said it was broken in two places, he casted it, it did not heal and I had to have two surgeries from August to December. In order for the foot to heal, I was required to remain on the bed, with the foot elevated to eliminate swelling, to promote healing.
It was my desolate place.
Loneliness, bed sores, pain, deep times of just waiting on God.
I knew the LORD had a purpose in this suffering. It was His to know and mine to find out. I did not want to miss a lesson while in the crucible of affliction. This was how these devotionals and the book came about.
Through the saddest times and deepest places of our lives, God brings beauty.
