Well after a very long but wonderful trip I am back home safe and sound. Since I've last shared with you I've had several more adventures, from getting lost trying to go visit friends to countless phone calls to my parents to share the random things I heard well listening on the radio. God is good and He allowed me to encourage some friends on my trip and He also used people to encourage me at the different places I stopped.
Well with my family at the cabin we went swimming, for several walks, my cousins and I put together a treasure hunt for the kids that some of the other adults took them through, we put together puzzles and took a look at the life of Joseph in our nightly devotions that Grandpa leads.
We spent some time talking about how God uses bad situations for our good and even though it was impossible to see the good that would come from Joseph's brothers selling him into slavery and Potipher's wife making false accusations against him God used it to bless Joseph, his family and many others. He can do the same in our own lives and use bad situations for His good. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
Today I get to spend the day catching up on work, doing laundry and repacking because tomorrow morning I turn around to leave again for a 3 day youth retreat. Hopefully when I get back I'll have some funny stories to share. Until then...!
