At 11 p.m. PST on Friday, she shared that sirens were sounding throughout Israel, and that people were advised to seek shelter, and that they could not cross into Jordan. She requested prayers for their safety.

At 1 a.m. PST, she shared, “I am just a little farm girl from [southwest Missouri] right in the middle of the forthcoming war in the Middle East. Warnings and sirens are going off again. The 2 main targets are Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. I am near Jerusalem in a shelter. I’m just a little girl from [southwest Missouri] who is scared to death. The airport is closed down, and I can’t get to Jordan. I am in God’s hands.”

In a post an hour later, she shared pictures of the bomb shelter she was in: “It is all concrete and cold,” she said. “Lord, I want to be with my family. I am beyond scared.”

Just minutes later, she posted that people were rushing into the bomb shelter and that it was chaos. She said that she had learned that fear is a universal language.

At 5 a.m. PST, she updated her followers that the border crossing to Jordan was in fact closed. As a result, they would need to travel approximately five hours by bus to the next available crossing, though there was no certainty that it would be open. She also mentioned that they might need to drive to Cairo, which is nine hours away, and that the situation was changing by the minute.

Two hours later, she reported that Jordan was being bombed, so they were leaving immediately for an undisclosed location, where they hoped to find refuge. She asked for prayers and support for her family, her husband, and her two children.
