You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always be you, and be ok with it. — **Today's Message is:** ***"End Up Day!"*** **Why Not?**

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and confess Him with your tongue or you will end up in an eternity without Him and suffer the pangs of misery in Hell. Have a blessed day today and always.

Why Was it Important for Joseph to End Up in Egypt?

Joseph had to go to Egypt so that Christians and seekers could see that God went with him. Readers witness the testimony of a life that emerged fruitful out of tragedy, not so much in terms of the material wealth Joseph gained but in his spiritual fortitude and growth.

Not sure any of my childhood friends had the faintest idea where I'd end up. But heck, neither did/do I.
