Protected or Rejected?

Going, as the road does lead me yet I only see what the horizons show me. Now it shows me light & glory, but I did not know by where I came....

There is a biograghy of the Bible character, Joseph. He had powerful dreams as a boy, but his brothers looked @ them as power trips. His father looked @ him as his favorite. Sold by his brothers, thought dead by his dad, he was sold into slavery. He became the kings right hand & his dreams came true as he was over his brothers enough to control their very lives! He FORGAVE and stated that what his brothers purposed for evil, God made it good.

That is now true in my life. I have loved a family for 20 years, now. They were everything to me. I used to stay @ their house during the weekends to go to church functions and then it was just to be part of them. There was 3 years with them & 2 years we moved to different states. I married & they moved where I was & happiness for 4 years... then... the mom & dad have one of their grandkids get molested! It was not resolved by the accused disappearing & thus bitterness set in. They disowned the chuch & all those in it including me & my family! 2 weeks later I had #3 child & no congrads from them. I was now not exsistent. As Joseph brothers, they meant it for punishment for nothing I did, but GOD used it to remove us from their twisted future of family insest, divorce, abuse, adultery, murder. I just was updated 10 years later with no clue of their lives previously. The death of whom was my brother and husbands closest friend... I am speachless. As Joseph I love them all still so deeply. Though, I am convinced that the statement is true... God used the seperation for good. We have been nothing but bleessed from their presence. What situation in your life can you relate this story to?
