How the cookie crumbles can sometimes be disheartening. <br /><br />However, with the passage of time, the way those events unfolded starts to make sense. Like I've heard preached: God opens doors we aren't strong enough to open and closes ones we are too weak to close.<br /><br />There is a plan behind it all. Sometimes we sense that plan but fight it out of fear or willfulness. But He is on the throne, and His plan for each of us will come to pass.<br /><br />Beautiful post, Maria. It reminds me that I may get knocked down, but I'm not going to stay down.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691883326513386349.post-31884552894879063182011-07-13T19:53:42.386-07:002011-07-13T19:53:42.386-07:00Joseph is one of my favorite stories.

It took the school of hard knocks to mature him into a big job that took the kind of responsibility and wisdom needed. <br /><br />Great and insightful post, Maria. Love your Life Lessons!Jessica R.

I find myself asking the "why" question daily and I wonder sometimes if God has a notepad that He scratches off the number of times i say it :)KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13170652181615060057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691883326513386349.post-84189244091006186622011-07-13T15:00:32.174-07:002011-07-13T15:00:32.174-07:00I think the story of Joseph is the favorite of man...I think the story of Joseph is the favorite of many as you can see.
