"For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has mercy on you. (Isaiah 54:10) I got to see my husband again this afternoon for a bit more than five minutes, just as yesterday. Our finger tips touched as we assured each other of our love one for the other...Leaving him, I implored and implored till they let me leave a pillow for him. They kept saying they had never done that before and they couldn't do it now...but then they did...THANK YOU, JESUS! I have been having such a hard time sleeping. Last night I ended up sleeping on the sofa in the living room. It is hard for me to lie on my own bed knowing that at this time my loved one is sleeping on a concrete slab. I don't have any new news at this time, only that yes, as many of you have said, the Lord has been using my husband. I took a box with reading glasses today for him to give away there, and tomorrow I need to take money to pay for the release of one of the inmates there that has been in jail for a month because he broke a window, or something like that... I feel drained of all energy, yet filled with an amazing peace that comes from knowing He is still in control! Also, I am overwhelmed beyond words by all the letters you all have been sending. Wow! I truly feel Daniel & I are the luckiest people in this earth! Your prayers and words of encouragement, and the love you have shown us, have kept me crying humbling tears of gratitude. I am also amazed of God's provision to us at this time. The Bible studies have/will keep going on. Having Paul & Pam here is a blessing beyond words! It seems to me like the Lord knew we would need them so much...yeah! I am blessed to have a mother, and to be one. 'Rochelle, the letter you wrote to your daddy today was beyond anything I could have ever imagined I would read/hear in this life. You have my deepest respect, dearest middle daughter.' 'Roshon, your strength, your words of wisdom and encouragement, your amazing faith and trust that the Lord has everything under His control have made me stronger and better able to endure this trial. You have been an amazing witness to me through all this we have been going through. Seeing how the Lord has been shaping you and making you the woman you are has greatly blessed me.' 'Josh, I love you with all my heart, I would give my life for you. Be strong, son, this trial will end, we will be stronger at the end, the Lord has a purpose for ALL He allows in our lives.'
Thank you with all my heart my family and dearest friends!
