One thing really stood out to me today as I was reading in Genesis chapter 50. Joseph mourned his dad's death and Joseph's brothers were afraid that he might punish them for the sins they had committed against him. Joseph's response is beautiful. He told his brothers that what they had done was "intended to harm him, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of lives."
As I go through life, I want to embrace difficult circumstances and understand that they are allowed by God so that He can use them for His purposes, not mine. Ultimately, God is in control today, just as he was thousands of years before the birth of Christ. I am so glad to be His and He is mine!!!

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Romans 8:5
A little about who we are......
