planning... Joseph style

Dear Joseph,
What an encouragement you have been to me this past week! Reading and savouring your story; promises of great and wonderful things followed by heartbreak and abandonment, slavery and false accusations, imprisonment and being disremembered.
This slow, seemingly hopeless, unfolding of history is full of real pain, real loss, real struggles. But then, to witness through the pages of your biography the victory that God had through you! Victory not just for yourself, or for your family, but also for the nation of Egypt! How God can use the real obstacles and situations in our lives for victory, not just for ourselves, but for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
What triumph! What hope that brings me, and such encouragement to continue to press on and press in.
Thank you for being faithful to the God of your fathers, to your God.
Sincerely,
Kirstenski
