Today, we awake to the news that a bomb has gone off on a crowded street by the central bus station in Jerusalem, killing a woman and injuring 39.
Here is a message from the kind folks at 1New Heart in Jerusalem who heard the blast.
"Dear Friends and Family,
As I'm writing this, Jerusalem's security and medical teams are responding to what appears to be a bombing which occurred at a very busy bus stop on a main avenue into the city. (located about 10-15 minutes from our home) We are all safe; Hank is in Bethlehem at the House of Bread. The children and I were at home, Abby and Levi playing outdoors when we heard and felt the reverberations from the blast. As I called the children inside, I was reminded of scripture that I read during some quiet time earlier this week: "But all who take refuge in you be glad; let them every sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you." (Ps. 5:11)
I am so thankful for His continued protection on us and the realization that at all times, we can take refuge in Him, no matter the circumstances!
On a more solemn note, this incident will most assuredly spark tensions within the country, so please continue to lift up the nation and all its people. Thank you for your continued prayer!"
Blessings,
Michele and family
