It was a gift to have Mark Head with us for our family gathering in October. He shared the story of Joseph from the perspective that reveals the painful reality of a journey through the mess of rejection, betrayal, disappointment and battered hope. What happens when the dream we have been given is obscured by disappointment after disappointment and hope runs out; when we cry out, “If God is with us, then it shouldn’t be like this!”

Mark shows us that just like Joseph, God is with us in the midst of tragedy; He is present and active.

He sees you right now, He knows you right now, and He loves you right now. He is never far from you. We may even be able to relate with Joseph that “God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.”
