This One Hits Close To Home… The Final Section of Genesis: Chapters 37-50 (02/24/2020)

This is a pretty hard one to write (this section of Genesis is found in pages 22-31 of my NKJV Bible, pages 28-40 of my NASB Bible, pages 48-69 of my VOICE copy (with the notes) and pages 47-67 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy), seeing that my mom has discovered my Bible note blog (I don’t know if she’s read anything), yet I did talk to my friend, Josh, about it, and he’s pretty sure she thinks I should just mind my own business… I hope that’s the case, but I’m not expecting her to even want to get along with me. But I don’t want to do anything in terms of discord against anyone; I don’t know why anyone would start this kind of thing. Maybe they just impose too much… but like I said, I don’t impose anything on others, so I hope my mom can live at peace with me, and that I never live with a family member again unless I am raising a kid like Bee… I think she’s great; I don’t see why anyone would count her out. I just think the Jesus and His teachings should be upheld… like the fact that children are a blessing, for instance (see Psalm 127:3). I wish others would recognize that… seems like they never will, though. This kinda has a lot to do with this section of Genesis… but this story is pretty complex: Joseph is sold into slavery by his own brothers, he gets falsely charged with rape and subsequently gets sent to prison, but he has dreams as before, then rises to power as second in command to the Egyptian pharaoh. Meanwhile, a famine is happening in the area, and Jacob and the others go to Egypt where Joseph had been sold into slavery in the first place, then somehow, God gives a lot of good food in the area so everyone is saved! Joseph then forgives his family after Jacob dies, and just as he wants peace with his persecuters, so I want peace between me and my mom and others… I don’t know how they’ll all take it, though. I’m actually afraid to have the security I deserve breached again. Still, I hope my mom is as respectful as she said she was, because I don’t think respect is earned. It’s not in the Bible, the whole “earn respect” thing. I don’t want to say it must be earned… I don’t deserve this, the indoctrination. People MUST get along with others, and I hope my mom would let me mind my own business as I’ve been trying to do my whole life. If she doesn’t, I’ll be like, “I get the point. Fine. Me and my brother will do life with Bee elsewhere.” And if she says, “Wait, what are you doing?” I’ll be like, “It’s too late, Mom, you’ve made your choice. Now go and show all your friends you love hostility more than us!” I don’t want this to happen. It’s not my fault, either! She just blamed me so much I actually still have a hard time believing it’s not game over, even after nearly 11 years of walking with Jesus and getting lots of good revelations and all. Is this what you want?! Please don’t do the same thing to my niece… I instead want to train her in godliness and the love of Jesus, the teachings I should’ve known as a kid. I understand if it’s hard for her to pay attention, though, I’m sorry if it’s the case no matter what stage of life she’s in, actually. Indeed, I often feel like I stand alone in everything… but if you want to pray for anything, you can leave a request in my e-mail (or not): ron.outland4727@gmail.com. I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I hope you’re doing ok, and I’ll see you in the next one!
