Joseph Moments in Education
It is relatively easy and natural to celebrate successes and victories whether in education or life accomplishments. It is more challenging, on the other hand, to celebrate the path that God often chooses for His people to get to those accomplishments and successes. Consider Joseph whose brothers sold him into slavery landing him in the house of a government official and finally in the government’s prison. Joseph did not understand why things happened the way they did. It was not the path that he would have chosen for his life in his desire to follow God’s leading. On the contrary, there were unwelcomed “assignments.” While he had had some successes that were celebratory in nature, the circumstances and people along the way certainly were not.
