Welcome to Follow Him favorites. This is where John and I share a single story to go with

each week's Come Follow Me lesson. John, we are in Genesis 42 through 50. Same story as last week,

Joseph of Egypt. I have a story for you that fits one of the overall messages of Joseph of Egypt, and that is, you don't

quit. When things go wrong, you just don't quit. And how many times do things go wrong for him?

Yeah. He tries again and again and again, and eventually it works out. Well, John, you and I both have a

friend. Her name is

Meg Johnson. When Meg was in her early 20s, there was an accident in St. George. She was up in

the Red Cliffs of St. George and fell off of a cliff. Terrible accident, paralyzing her. She becomes

a quadriplegic, which means she loses the use of her legs and a lot of

the use of her arms. She, of course, goes through surgery after surgery, after surgery,

attempting to save her life and then to give her some sort of mobility. She eventually, and through a

series of, honestly, miraculous events, makes it home. She eventually, and through a series of honestly miraculous events,

makes it home, she is now confined to a wheelchair. Well, John, she said there was one day

where she was learning how to drink a glass of orange juice again. Here's a woman that that was in college, that was dating, having the time of her life,

and now here she is, just trying to learn how to use a fork again or to pick up a glass.

She told me this.

She said there was a moment.

I think she was sitting outside on the deck.

Her mom had wheeled her outside.

She said, you know, I had to make a

decision. I could spend the rest of my life wanting my old life back. I could. I could sit every day

and want my old life back. Or, she said, I could get busy building my new life.
