Joseph shares his thoughts


You know child, my brothers still can’t believe all my dreams came true.

But they did….every single one.

And as I told them, it was all God’s doing.

Of course when it was happening it wasn’t funny at all.

I asked God many questions during my time in Potiphar’s house and in prison.

There were many times when I actually gave up but every time God would find a way to pick me up.

And honestly, the day I was called to Pharaoh’s palace and my life changed seemed like a dream.

It took the birth of Ephraim for me to realize it was reality.

And the day my brothers came to Egypt, I could not believe my eyes!

Inspite of everything, I had missed them badly.

Plus, looking back, I knew that I would not have been a good leader given my behaviour at home.

I was really quite a brat and very proud of my coat.

So I can imagine how second rate my brothers might have felt.

So little one, keep dreaming and keep trusting.

Remember that God fulfills every single one of His promises. I am living proof of that.

Joseph, Prime Minister of Egypt.

On the stairs



On the stairs 
Confidences are shared
Deep thoughts are exchanged
Dreams are spoken
Life is lived

On the stairs
The sky's the limit
No problem is too great to be solved
God hears and He speaks
on the stairs

On the stairs
Hearts may be broken
Dreams may be shattered
Disappointments may happen
But life goes on

On the stairs
Friendship remains
When all else is gone
When all is said and done
Friendship is king

(The stairs are an actual location in Tema Community Two. This poem celebrates a friendship that survived a dating relationship.)
