I've been thinking . . .

Last week in my devotions, I came across this passage :

"Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and opened her womb. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, "God has taken away my disgrace."" (Genesis 30:22-23)

That phrase - "Then God remembered Rachel . . ." really struck a chord with me. I don't know why it stuck out so much, but it was just the wording I suppose. God didn't really forget about Rachel - did he? He obviously didn't - but why would he suddenly "remember" her? Is there something lost in the translation? Or am I just not seeing the whole picture??

And this week, i was reading exodus, and the same words came up again - "And God remembered the Israelites."

There's got to be more to this than what I'm getting! Right?

Christmas Break

Went to Fernie (see? more pictures!)
Went grad dress shopping!! So exciting!!
Saw my cousins, got to hang out with the fam.
Got to visit with Aimee! Good times.

All in all, I'd say that this Christmas break was quite satisfactory. I got to catch up with people, relax and, well, celebrate! with good reason, too!!

I hope you all had a spledid Christams!

Happy New Year!
