Shalom to all.
I pray that you are well as well as your family.
Yes, I came back again. My third time now. For the last few months it has been a very trying time for me. So far things are quiet, however it will start being bumpy for a while. Yet through this time of testing and trials God will grant me the strength to get through it. I just need to trust Him. One thing that I am learning is how God will get me through this affliction and what He has taught me thus far. He kept putting Joseph to mind. Only because I kept asking God how He can use afflictions for His glory and how does one stay strong in the midst of it.
Well, when I started to get Joseph through my mind I started to search it out. A few weeks ago I came across a book on Joseph. I purchased it and just last week I started reading it. There is also a workbook that goes with it that I didn't know that I had on my bookshelf. It is interesting in what Joseph had to go through and yet come out the victorious one in the end and God received the glory. While I was reading through the first chapter of the Joseph book I saw a lot of similarities in myself and in my life.
I learned that my father was passive like Joseph's father Jacob. And my husband also. That they had let things slide and kept it quiet. They didn't want to deal with the issue at hand. So people like me feel the brunt of it. Will God change all that is going on in my life? I do believe He will. Not on my doing or glory but for His purpose and glory. I may not see the end result of what will happen or transpire but God knows.
It is good to be back. I had missed my friends. And I hope to gain more new friends while being here. Also to be an encouragement to others.
I will share more later.
Blessings to all.
