First, it's good to be back writing this blog again. It is amazing how God puts experiences in our lives in order to advance His kingdom. And believe me when I say that God has allowed some incredible challenges to unfold in my life over the past few months. From parenting challenges to work challenges and even a short stint in the hospital, they have pushed me to continually lean on the strength of my faith.
In my morning devotion, it included the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers (Genesis 50:15-21). After reading this, and being reminded of what Joseph endured yet was still able to forgive, I thought back to my recent challenges and also looked at how much I relied on God to get me through. He has not let go. It does remind me constantly about living by the simple statement His will be done, not my will be done.
Oh, and a side note, the fun things my brothers did to me growing up, like stealing from my Easter basket, are nothing compared to what Joseph's brothers did to him.
