That&#8217;s right.  A <em>TENT<\/em>.  For those of you who know me well know what a sacrifice and struggle that was for me.  You see, getting out of my comfort zone is not the place I want to be.  Last year is the first year I obeyed and went to Sukkot.  The first 2 years my mind frame was &#8220;Sukkot just isn&#8217;t for me, I&#8217;m not a <em>camper<\/em>.&#8221;  That was until last summer when I was reading about Sukkot and heard the stern voice of my Father tell me I would go or I would suffer the consequence of disobedience.  Immediately I said &#8220;Yes, Sir! I&#8217;ll be there with bells on&#8221; and I was.  This year I knew that Sukkot would come to and end.  It is an awfully long time to be &#8216;out of comfort&#8217; if you will.  That&#8217;s the idea, so I hear.  This year was special, though.  I took away some nuggets of truth, healing, and purpose that I need to get to this next piece of my journey.  Yah is changing me and shaping me and although it is uncomfortable I am so blessed to be His daughter and to attend such an amazing feast with a truly beloved and now dear friend of mine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sisters I&#8217;d love to hear from you.  What is Sukkot like for you?  Do you whine and complain like I did?  Get homesick?  Tell me the parts you love and the parts you dislike.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until next time.  Shalom.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good evening ladies! Last week I successfully committed to and completed 7 nights in a TENT. That&#8217;s right. A TENT.
