This may make me sound like a BIG nerd (really, it's no secret that I really am one) but I love Hebrew studies! I love learning about Hebrew culture and the Torah and all the Jewish feast days and everything. What's so wonderful about looking at the Hebrew scripture (the Old Testament) and reading some of mishnah (rabbinic commentary), is how God reveals His plan of salvation from day one and all the way thru to Jesus' birth. And for those who read this and think," Ok Raquel, you're not Jewish...you're Christian." Well true. Very true. I love my Catholic Christian faith. As a Christian, I'm going into a deeper study of who Jesus was, not to mention who St. Paul was...or some of the other authors of the New Testament. Jesus was a Jew. A faithful one at that. And so was St. Paul. And pretty much most of the people in the Bible. Why not study who these people were? Maybe I'd have a little more insight as to why Jesus said some of the things He said and did some of the things He did. God would not have allowed the first part of our Christian bible to be a part of the bible had He had not wanted us to look at it, right?
Anyway...enough ranting. =) I think what got me in this mood was listening to Paul Wilbur - " Baruch Adonai/Shout of El Shaddai" and "Roni Roni Bat Zion". Go listen to it...I bet you'll start dancing....just like David infront of the Ark of Covanent. =) ok I'll stop.

Help Raquel's Missionary Fund
Hey all.. while finishing up my year here in Arizona, God has called me serve a month in Ghana. In total, I need to raise 6500. Please prayerfully consider helping me if you are able to do so. If you decide to help or have any questions, please email me (raarasing@gmail.com). If giving financially is not something you can do, please keep me and the other missionaries in your prayers. Both means of support are needed and extremely appreciated. Thank you and many blessings to you!
