It’s so late and I’m just getting to posting. Please continue to lift up my family and all of Israel (and for the innocent people of Iran too)— the missiles from hezbollah and Iran have been nonstop. Even in the midst of it all, we had a blessed weekend in Knoxville area with three awesome congregations and two totally out of the blue house meetings. Also got to spend some time with dear friends — it was definitely what the doctor ordered 🥹🥹🥹. We will begin traveling north tomorrow to Maryland to check on my in-laws, then Pennsylvania for a graduation and several events before we head back to Israel (God willing)!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ...

What many people don’t understand about Israelis is that our emotional baseline is calibrated differently.
It isn’t because we are stronger or braver than anyone else. It’s because we live inside a reality where the ground shifts beneath our feet on a regular basis, and life still has to go on.
You can’t pause a country every time history decides to show up.
People abroad often imagine war as a clear event — something that begins, something that ends. A chapter in a history book.
Here it’s more like weather.
Sirens.
Arguments about politics.
School closures.
Work meetings.
A wedding tonight if the roads stay open.
A funeral tomorrow because this is reality, too.
All of it exists in the same hour.
We debate our government loudly and constantly — sometimes viciously — because this place matters to us in a way that is difficult to explain to people who see their country as a setting rather than a lifeline.
Before October 7 we spent months arguing in the streets over judicial reform. Families fought at Shabbat tables. Friends stopped speaking. Hundreds of thousands of people protested week after week because Israelis believe fiercely that the future of this country belongs to them.
And then October 7 happened.
And suddenly the argument didn’t stop — it just moved underground while the country mobilized to survive.
Since then we’ve been living inside something most people abroad can barely imagine: a long season of grief layered on top of constant vigilance.
Missiles.
Hostages.
Funerals.
Reserve duty.
Children doing homework between sirens.
And still — life continues.
Cafés open.
Babies are born.
People fall in love.
Someone’s grandmother insists you eat more.
Because Israelis understand something that outsiders often miss: if you wait for calm in this region before living your life, you will never live at all.
So we live loudly.
We argue.
We laugh.
We complain about the government.
We show up for each other.
We keep building things even when they might be knocked down tomorrow.
It can look chaotic from the outside.
But from the inside it’s something else entirely.
It’s resilience.
Not the heroic kind you see in movies.
The ordinary kind.
The kind that wakes up, makes coffee, sends the kids to school when it’s possible, runs to shelter when it isn’t, and then goes back to making dinner.
Over and over again.
Because here in Israel, resilience isn’t a slogan.
It’s just Tuesday.
Make it a good one.
Couldn’t have said it better myself, Sarah Tuttle-Singer

Even in the midst of the battle, there are quiet victories—moments of strength we didn’t know we had, lessons that shape us, and grace that carries us further than we thought was possible.
Sometimes the good isn’t overly loud or obvious. Sometimes it looks more like just getting through the day, choosing hope when it would be easier to quit, or trusting that the hard chapter isn’t the whole story. Every season has something to teach us, something to grow in us, and something to be grateful for. The battle may be real, but so is the purpose being formed through it. Our past weekend’s events and divine appointments in Alabama and Tennessee were blessed. Pressing in. Staying prayerful. Staying grateful.

We’re somewhere in Tennessee surrounded by beauty as I take my walk. I cannot go into the ins and outs of it but my heart has been grieving over an INCONCEIVABLE situation going on (in the midst of everything else). I’m trying to remain in a place of faith through it all. I can’t be the only one, right? Taking some comfort in this word today— maybe someone else needs to take hold of it too… ... See MoreSee Less
