For some reason this particular scripture has always resonated with me. It is found in the book of Genesis, chapter 37, verse 19. It chronicles the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. Jacob was a wonderful father and great patriarch like my grandfather. I don't want to tell the whole story, please re-read it. Jacob was old , wise and prosperous , the same as my grandfather . Jacob really loved his young son Joseph. I am not saying I was my grandfather's favorite because I truly believe he loved us all the same . But, he was very vocal concerning his love and tremendous pride for me. We had a wonderful relationship , he spoiled me rotten.
Joseph's brothers dug a ditch to kill their brother then decided to sell him into slavery. My mother certainly dug ditches to kill my spirit and led me into captivity.
Joseph 's family was pretty sorry, corrupt and jealous like mine. Am I that dreamer? Will I be able to or ever want to offer them comfort , to save them from famine ?
Am I even a dreamer? Or am I a "wanter"? Do I want everything I see? Did I want a mother that much!? Have I been the victim of the world's cruelest hoax? Why do I cringe now that it's all over.? Why can't I forget all the terrible things she did to me, that she did to us?
Why didn't someone just kill the *****? I am not judging. Only GOD has the right to take or give life. But, honestly that woman named Martha Jane deserved to be stabbed, skinned, boiled alive, then doused with hot lye and set on fire!
JESUSJESUSJESUS! I am reeling! She was a Freak! ! A cool crook. A low life common person. I remember conversations in my presence about how common she was when I was a little girl. Mathy could not be corralled , controlled, or restrained.
If you knew her, befriended her in any way , you were going to suffer. A true "Ball Buster".
Dear LORD thank you for protecting us, for protecting me from the true knowledge of her immoral character.
Dear LORD I was in the belly of the beast and didn't know it! I was sleeping with the enemy and you kept your arms around me!
Yes , children Martha was wise, brilliant in her own eyes. But, check out this scripture; "HE TAKETH THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CRAFTINESS." (1Corinthians 3:19b)
It was a miracle! GOD revealed the whole story to me , the entire sad saga.
What is my point? Stay in His WORD children. Study it daily. Never rely on someone else's interpretation. Guess what Martha Jane's favorite scripture was? You guessed correctly, what else; "HONOR THY MOTHER AND FATHER !!!!!!!!!!" Now this is from a woman that shot her own daddy through the heart!
Live right, Love the LORD, Laugh heartily every day.
May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
Rachel Gwendolyn (the exceedingly proud granddaughter of a great Patriarch, JEROME WALTERS)
