Our God is able to help us to become better people-responsible, reliable and selfless.
Genesis 45:4-43. 
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

7And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

Departure on Faith by CajunValkyrie
1 part Complete
The Egyptian woman Merneith, having witnessed the devastating plagues that struck Egypt, felt a deep stirring within her heart. As she saw the power of the God of Israel manifest in ways that defied the might of her homeland's deities, her spirit was moved towards a faith she had never known. Each plague, from the water turning to blood to the darkness that enveloped the land, only solidified her growing belief that the God of the Israelites was supreme. As the final and most harrowing plague swept through Egypt, claiming the lives of the firstborns, she saw the stark contrast between her stricken people and the protected Israelites. In the midst of her sorrow, she found a glimmer of hope in the God who had spared His own. Her heart, heavy with the weight of what she had witnessed, yearned for the peace and protection she saw among the Israelites. When the Israelites were finally set free by Pharaoh's decree, the woman made a bold decision. She left behind her life in Egypt, her home, and all that she had known. Her faith propelled her to join the Israelites on their journey out of bondage and toward a promise she barely understood but deeply longed for. As she traveled with the Israelites, she faced the same uncertainties and challenges that they did. Crossing the Red Sea, wandering in the wilderness, and relying on divine provision, her faith grew stronger. She found a new community and a new identity among the people of Israel, united by a common faith in the God who had shown His power and mercy. Through her journey, she became a testament to the transformative power of faith. Her story echoed through the generations as a reminder that God's call transcends boundaries and that His grace is available to all who seek it.

(Lilith Series Book One)There are two sides to every story, but that doesn't mean both are always heard. That's the funny thing about history, we don't often hear it from the voices that matter most. The same goes for Lilith. Though the story of the Garden of Eden may seem clear as day, the truth of the matter has been long lost to time and the horrors that happened within it are now only known to its original residents and those who sought to perfect them. After refusing to be subservient to man, Eden's first daughter fled, only to be looked down upon by the eyes of history for the 'monster' she had become. Thousands of years pass, and in the spring of 2024, the Archangelic Council is having trouble making a crucial decision that will greatly impact the world as we know it. They were told by Adonai before he left the world in their hands long ago, that in a dire time like this, another council could be called in to help. After putting it to a vote, the New Order was to be assembled and their leader was none other than the wife of both Archangels Samael and Lucifer, the mother of all demons herself, Lilith. As she travels the world to gather the unique members of the Order, she speaks with witches, wolves, vampires, and more, and they quickly come to realize they've all been plagued by a common enemy; an organization known as the Holy Alliance whose goal is to cleanse the world of demonic creatures. Can Lilith and her friends show humanity that they too have every right to live in this world before it's too late?

"I'm so sorry," she said, but there was no fear in her voice. "I wasn't looking where I was going." I clenched my jaw. "You should have been." To my surprise, she didn't back down. "Well, maybe you should watch where you're going, too. It's not like I did this on purpose." I stopped, stunned. "Do you have any idea who you're speaking to?" Her eyes didn't flinch. "Yes, I do. And I don't care. I'm not going to stand here while you blame me." I was taken aback. Most people would've cowered, but she didn't. "Next time, be more careful," I said, colder now. "I will," she replied, "And maybe don't judge so quickly." ***** Zahra is a kind, fierce, and hardworking woman who is deeply dedicated to her religion. As a hijabi, she maintains a strong sense of faith and self-respect, and her unwavering determination to do right by her values makes her both compassionate and savage when necessary. Rashid Khan, on the other hand, is a notorious mafia boss feared across all of Asia. Cold, calculating, and intimidating, he's used to being in control, and his ruthless demeanor keeps everyone around him in check. When they are arranged to marry, their worlds collide. Zahra's fiery independence and strong beliefs challenge Rashid's dominance and cold control. Neither is willing to back down, creating a tension-filled dynamic. Will Zahra's strength break through Rashid's hardened exterior, or will their clash of wills tear them apart? Anyone can read it!
