Adversity and Perseverance...........

I like the story about Joseph in the Bible and how the Israelites came to settle in Egypt. Joseph was dumped in a pit by his brothers and left to die due to their jealousy. He is rescued and becomes a servant in Egypt. Falsely accused by the wife of his employer, he is imprisoned until his God given gift of interpreting dreams brings about his rise in society to the rank of Governor of Egypt!



Storms in our life are sometimes there to awaken in us our full potential! We often get too comfortable and settle for less than what we can achieve. We are all capable of doing great things depending on our approach to adversity. Life throws your curve balls often but that doesn't mean you bury your head in the sand and give up.



The truth is you never know how to strong you are until your back is against the wall! When you face challenges and go through them, you may not know how you will survive but you do! You survive and you only become a stronger person for it. We sometimes look at beautiful things or people with admiration. Sometimes we think that things just happen but we do not know the blood, sweat or tears that got them to that point.

Lets all try to persevere and go through life with determination to make it no matter what. You can make it, you just have to get up everyday and try! Try and keep on trying and you will succeed! God bless you all!
