Joseph Study Guide: Waiting on God's Timing, Living in God's Plan
We all have dreams for how our lives will—or should—turn out. Many times these are dreams that have been impressed on us by God himself. But when will they stop being dreams and turn into reality? When will these dreams be fulfilled? And what do you do in the meantime? Waiting on God’s Timing, Living in God’s Plan is a six-session video-based Bible study examining the life of the biblical character of Joseph, the ultimate dreamer, giving you insight into the power of your choices as you wait on God while pursing your dreams. As a teenager, Joseph had big dreams, but events seemed to circumvent those dreams and landed him in slavery in Egypt. Through this experience Joseph learned to trust in God’s plan for his life, remain obedient and make wise choices, even when they resulted in a jail sentence! Ultimately, Joseph realized his dreams and was reunited and reconciled with his family and was able to be used by God to save millions of people from starvation. God has dreams for your life as well. If you wait on God’s perfect timing, make wise and biblical choices, you too, like Joseph, can see your God-given dreams become reality. This fresh look at Joseph helps you discover new insights and provides a powerful witness to God’s timing and plan for you that will leave you feeling challenged, encouraged, and deeply valued.

The author and speaker is a dynamic personality, you will just want to love her God, the way she speaks about him.
The DVD is a six session interesting pack that illustrates the story of Joseph and how we as individuals can relate with him with the challenges we face.
* Session 1: Relationships reveals your purpose
My Personal Nugget: Our dreams are much smaller than God's intention and that why it takes so long for them to be birth,
* session 2: Your dream is greater than what you think
My Personal Nugget:When we lace our dreams at God's feet, we will go out a different way (John 12:24)
* Session 3: Don't grow bitter, get better
My Personal Nugget: Offense is a device the devil uses to get us off the trail, so shake it off and set up
* Session 5:The Cost of Righeteousness
My Personal Nugget:sometimes God places our lives on hold to keep us safe till the next phase in life
* Session 6: The key to promotion
My Personal Nugget: The same thing that gets us into trouble is usually the key to our blessing.The dreams and desires we have, have greater purpose rather than our personal desires.
