sunshine

i am happy to say that today was a rather successful day {and by today i mean friday, even though it is now technically saturday}. not only did i happen to get a sunburn on one half of my face, impressive i know, but i also got to spend some serious time reading through genesis for my old testament class. even though i was doing homework {there is a rather large assignment that goes with the reading} i was so happy and relaxed the whole time. It was a joy to be able to spend all day in the word. i personally recommend it.

my little devotional thought for the day:
from the time joseph was sold to the ishmaelites to the time he became a ruler of egypt, twenty-three years had passed. he had grown up from a seventeen-year-old boy to a mature thirty-year-old man. for these difficult and discouraging twenty-three years joseph had unfaltering faith in god. he never lost hope in god's plan for his life and that he was being used for god's glory. what an example for us. god is always working and everything works out exactly how he intends it to. god is using us. we need to open and willing to be used by him.



a snippet of joy...
iced chocolate chai lattes: the best drink in the world. somehow they seem to make the day a little bit brighter and a little bit happier. i would have one every day if i could afford it. they are delicious and the caffeine doesn't hurt either :) a wonderful day plus this wonderful drink made the day absolutely golden.
