““Joseph was 17 years old when his brothers sold him into slavery. He was 30 years old when his miracle arrived. Joseph’s dark season lasted 13 years … but it did come to an end. I spent a year of my life reading Joseph’s story, over and over, finding encouragement to keep pressing on when the horizon looked bleak and professional circumstances—well, sucked. I cling to his story today. Don’t give up. Your life matters because it is broader in scope than the darkness you might experience today. Your life is more permanent than your struggles.””
