There it is...

1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, "Have everyone leave my presence!" So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it.

I was talking to my wise sage Keith Gaddis yesterday. We always have these great talks where we share what God has been teaching us lately. I didn't have much. The past few months have been a bit dry for me. By dry I mean not much spiritual input and therefore little output. But I have learned not to beat myself up over the dry times. I'm human, it's part of the deal. I just need to suck it up and press on. My talks with Keith help me with that. I hope that you have someone like Keith in your life. Someone who speaks truth into you and encourages you, someone who sees you as Christ sees you.

So back to Joseph, Keith and I were talking about Joseph and he brought up the above passage where Joseph lets it all out. What we landed on was that maybe this (vs.2) was the load of all those nights wrestling with God, coming to a point. Maybe he saw the whole puzzle coming together at this moment.

Have you ever been through something like that? You think that your world is crashing down around you, only to find out later that God was there the whole time. Or maybe there is something that you are going through right now. You may feel like God is robbing you of something but maybe you are holding onto things you don't need. At any rate have faith and know that God is with you and is crazy about you.
