Day 3

So, i slacked off yesterday, but GOD didn't let me go to sleep before i read something. So i read about 1.5 chapters. lol.
I did find out that Jacob did work for Rachael 7 extra years, but i was always taught that he did not get her as a wife until after 14 years! Not the case! (Genesis 29:26-30). That's interesting. I have been praying that GOD would reveal to me the areas in my "theology" that is wrong...and that i could truly see HIM! Then it would all get corrected! I am doing that through reading-and studying-HIS WORD! and i am finding out really cool stuff!
And i found out that there was a lot of drama between Leah and Rachel...wow, i thought i knew what drama was from some of the people i knew. Read Genesis 29:31-30:24.

Actually, at the beginning of Genesis 29, Jacob was continuing his journey and he came across shepherds with 3 flock of sheep, and there was a well. and this well had a large stone over the mouth of it. (This is the first time The BIBLE mentions a well having a stone over the mouth). That seems important. Rachel, Jacob's wife and Laban's daughter, was a shepherdess, and therefore watched over Laban's sheep. And every day this stone had to be rolled away to water the sheep. And in verses 7 & 8 the shepherds said that they will wait to remove the stone and water the sheep until all the sheep are gathered together! This also seems interesting... I don't completely know, but I will inquire of GOD. But just figured i'd let you know some stuff that is standing out!
