It is my understanding that the Hebrew meaning of Joseph is "He shall add." I have taken the meaning of my names very seriously throughout my life. I have heard the call and exercise that calling for the sole purpose of bringing to pass the eternal purposes of God. And yes, I have been tried in the manner of which you speak and continue to be subject to the refiners fire.
Thanks again for the good writing here.
Joseph is also a family name on my mother’s side from waaaaay back! My favorite aunt’s name was Josepha, and we gave my new daughter the middle name of Josephine this last July. :-)
