The Galilee

We are back in Jerusalem for a couple of days for a little rest. The land of the Galilee had many more lessons for us than we thought. After spending the first night in a cave on Mt. Arbel we began our journey to the North and around the lake. On the way to Capernaum we stopped at Eremos Topos cave, a location where Jesus most likely was before he walked to the disciples on the Sea of Galilee. At Capernaum we ran into RVL's group and had a brief, but very good time with them. We then proceeded to hike up a dry river bed filled with thorns that were as tall as us in places. We struggled but pushed through and made it to Korazin just before it closed. It was here that we met Sammy, the park ranger. We bought the rest of his water and he gave us a ride to the edge of the Jordan River where we finished out our July 3 swimming in the Jordan. Yesterday, July 4, had too many God moments, and God providing for us that I can not even write about it right now. But for now, we continually are reminded that God is in control, and he is our shade, bread, and living water.
