Forty Nine...

Monday the 22nd... I went to Austin with a friend, AP and her new doggy, we did breakfast and then we went paddle boarding and then we went walked around and had lunch at Whole foods and walked around lady bird lake and then we got gelato for the ride home... Later after getting home and in dire need of a nap my friend RV called me with car troubles so I ended up hanging out with him and calling AAA to try to get his car fixed... eventually we got a jump from the mall security and then all was good... So, that was an interesting night.

What I read... Genesis 49

I love the blessing that Israel give Joseph...
22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine,
a fruitful vine near a spring,
whose branches climb over a wall.
23 With bitterness archers attacked him;
they shot at him with hostility.
24 But his bow remained steady,
his strong arms stayed limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,
because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25 because of your father’s God, who helps you,
because of the Almighty,who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
blessings of the deep springs below,
blessings of the breast and womb.
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than the bounty of the age-old hills.
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

I think the blessing of his father Israel is not only applying to the biological father but also the spiritual father that is the word of God.... I know this is really deep for me right, the word of God is Jesus and the story of Joseph is very similar to that of Jesus and the father of Israel as the nation is God and so is the father of Jesus. I just love the way that the Lord reveals himself to children through his word, aka his son. May the Lord bless you through his word as well. :)

Good Night and God Bless!
