The Dreamer

Hello All! Its been a while since we chatted!Hope all is well with you? Me, I'm holding up, looking up to God and hoping that i can be of help to someone...Sometimes though, when something happens that makes me sad, I find out that the only thing that lifts me out of the depression is helping someone else, does it happen to you too?
It reminds me of the story of Joseph, remember Joseph from the bible? Yes, the dreamer! I sometimes wonder if being called the dreamer was apt, how about the helper? did you notice how even though Joseph was treated terribly by people (especially those closest to him) he still went out of his way to help people? He didn't seem to mind that they abused his trust or was he just that naive? He is someone, who was sold to slavery by his own flesh and blood, goes to become his master's favorite servant, was betrayed again by his master when the master's wife accused him of rape. You know sometimes you think people you trust and love should know you enough to vouch for you, to say, "no, that's not something Vidagirl would do!" you know? Potiphar believed his wife even though he'd been with Joseph enough to know what he could or could not do, then this same wrongfully accused, spitefully treated young man goes into prison and before long he's helping people again! I mean, I'm sure it wasn't only the baker and the cup bearer he helped with interpretation of their dreams, i'm fairly positive that everyone who had a dream ran to Joseph for help and he would gladly help with the interpretation and counsel them on how they should go to realize their dreams! He was just a really good guy! Then here is the part i feel earned him the name, the Dreamer. When he was done with the cup bearer's dream he then said to the cup bearer "remember me!" What a dreamer! The fact that he still had faith in humanity makes me dizzy! Why would the cup bearer remember him after he leaves prison? no reason whatsoever, because seriously what use is an Israeli slave in prison to the Egyptian cup bearer in the palace? Joseph was useless to him, he was only useful in interpreting his dream, but after that, he was 'not applicable'
But then God came into the mix and the useless dream interpreter who was once a dreamer himself became the most important man on earth! Only God could have created such a turnaround. And hes still in the business of doing so! A preacher i love to listen to would say if you want to dream, dream like a fool! dream ridiculous dreams, after all you're not paying for them so why not dream big? Do you have a dream and instead of you pursuing your dreams it seems you're now the go-to guy for everyone else's dreams, you're so busy with other people's dreams that you seem to have forgotten yours, well i'm here to tell you that you're on the right path! keep looking up to God, He KNOWS how to connect the dots and bring your dreams to life! The bigger your dream, the more people you will help in realizing theirs (true talk!) God's got it all in control, don't be afraid or don't feel bad the next time people laugh at your face and call you a 'Dreamer!' Look at Joseph, the dreamer! You're in very good company!
Keep the dream alive! Ciao!
