Passover Seder 2022 ~Solo Lobo

Last night, I was so jazzed about the possibility of getting to the Seder, that I had a hard time getting sleepy enough to go to bed – I finally crawled into bed around 6 AM this morning (literally forced myself to go to bed and try to get some sleep for the long drive, and afternoon’s festivities); and set the alarm clock for 9:45 AM {just in case}: my last thought before my head hit the pillow, was, “Lord, if it be Your Will that I go, I need to be alert enough to stay awake getting there/being there/getting back home from there". When the alarm went off, I was surprised to be peppily up (the song, ‘Be Still and Know That I Am God’ was running through my thoughts; repetitively); bright-eyed and bushy-tailed 😉

I was even shampooed, dressed, a bit of makeup on … and out the door by 11:15 AM.

2 hr. 4 minute drive one way.

It was a true miracle 😊

As I left the carport, I was leaning heavily on Elohim’s promises of protection on my life, as I headed towards Vancouver, with just a little over 3 hours of sleep under my belt.

And Elohim was faithful.

Taking Martin's Bluff Road - higher, but safer than Lane Road.

Not much snow to be concerned about ...

The real danger is the storm debris, and saturated soil.

Shattered tree debris.

Storm damage broken tree limbs.

Broken limbs shaken out of trees by winds, to drop on passing vehicles.

Small ... but big enough to do some damage to vehicles.

Neighboring locals do what they can to keep roadways clear.

The whole day was safe passage to and fro.

Love was the order of the day.

Driving thru Ridgefield, I spotted a heart-shaped cloud behind the stop lights, near the Nursery.

Ridgefield-WA. When Bob was driving fro Lemmon's Trucking, he occasionally delivered landscaping bark to this Nursery.

A bit past the light, I pulled over to the road shoulder, to get a better glimpse – I wanted to be sure I was seeing a heart shape formation.

YES! I had a smile on my face, and warmth in my heart. Love was encouraging me on.

The festivities were enjoyable; food was delish.

Someone was clearly amped up for the festivities. LOL

I found my Table; everyone at the table was a joy to meet, & get to know.

Shabbat candles were lit by Table Hostess.

I love the sound of the Shofar! Today, David blew 2 😊

While watching the Davidic Dance worship, I did tear up (happy tears) thinking of Bob laughing and dancing with Yeshua, beyond the clouds.

The girl with the braid is Stan's wife.

Hand washing ritual for everyone at the tables; Eau de Rose Water was used.

It smelled good - but it was STRONG.

The catered Seder Meal was light ... but very tasty; the lamb & the hummus was delish.

I made new friends: 1 is already in the phone.

And, I was parked at home, a full hour before sundown 😉

Elohim made a way for me to accomplish the goals I had hoped to enjoy: the Adna Plant Sale yesterday afternoon … and a Solo Lobo Seder, this afternoon. Wednesday, I didn’t believe either would be possible. But Elohim was faithful – and He got me to both.

What a way to usher in, and end a Shabbat 😊

L'Chiam!

I am loved and highly favored.

I am thankful; and appreciative.

I serve a GREAT God!
