Want to read an epic true story which draws surreal, metaphorical parallels with the story of Joseph (of the bible)? Dare I say that by virtue of my gender, my journey from the
pit
to
prison
and to the
palace of lifting
was not as linear, as I have more peculiar encores to recount.
I am Josephine - the one who's received God's mercy!
Indeed, every human born of a woman will be blinded by suffering at some point in their lives. Suffering is rude, invasive and does not care who you are or how well you've future-proofed your life or posterity. Suffering is guaranteed - whether you believe in God or the universe; you're agnostic or atheist; rich or poor - your heart will constrict with pain, invariably.
So, if that's the case, if it's surely inevitable, why not make it count? Why not suffer,
well
?
My hope is that this book enriches your life in a deeply consequential and profound way. I cannot promise that the pages will not evoke a cocktail of emotions in you as you journey through, but I guarantee that you will certainly chuckle a few times! More crucially, I hope this memoir helps you gain a deeper understanding of the notion of
suffering
and why God allows it - especially if you are here on a special assignment in this world.
If you want to know what the 'Scandal of Grace' looks like, then grab your favourite hot drink and tuck in! And I pray that an irrepressible fire will be ignited within you - a fire that propels you from inertia and monotony to attaining a fresh revelation of what
this life
- and
your life
- is truly all about... to rediscovering and fulfilling your purpose.
I'm inviting you to taste and see that the Lord is good.
Enjoy!
