Isaac and Rebekah

Just the other day while we were having family devotion, dad read the passage about how Abraham made his servant swear that he'd find a wife for Abraham's son Isaac. And yadda yadda, how the servant travelled far and wide, and how God told the servant that the first lady to appear and offer him some water to drink would be Isaac's wife. So when he got to the well, the servant first spotted Rebekah and asked her for a drink and she not only obliged, but offered to water all his camels as well.
Then dad was saying how a camel needs wayyyy many gallons (I can't rmb) of water to quench its thirst, and there were many (again i can't rmb) camels. And how Rebekah must be so fit and strong to give water to all of them, walking back and forth from the well. So it was here that dad figured Rebekah must be a "tomboy-super strength girl", albeit a beautiful one, since she did all the water hospitalities. And he figured, back in those times, Rebekah probably got teased for her personality by all the other girlie girls and stuff. You know, not fitting in cuz she probably wasn't like the rest of them.
But it was her personality and character that eventually led to the rest of history in the Bible, so God has a hand in everything; even how you turn out personality/physically/character wise.

I was tempted to blog about other trivial, rather shudder-worthy stuff, but meh, its always better to reflect on the good stuff and be insightful rather than just yap for self satisfaction. Anyway I already emailed skippylass the shudder-worthy stuff so HAHAHA. Had to get it off my chest.
