Wow...the devil is always busy and it seems like no matter how hard you try it's always something there to hold you back. I'm a little familiar with the prison system because my husband is incarcerated but I don't know how it works in Texas because the laws and everything is different but you should've definitely been able to fight that if it wasn't found in your area and you haven't been in trouble for cases of such like that before. Keep your head up because there are brighter days ahead my friend!
This is beautiful Jonathan, there is that special someone for all of us, we may be talking to that person all along sometimes but at that time may not be the right time, but in due time we will know.
Dearest Teze: I find myself talking, once again, "talking" to a long lost VERY GOOD friend of mine. One whom always lent an ear, whenever I had a problem that I just HAD TO talk about. Although, this time, I want to share some good news with you... I, FINALLY, spoke with Z, on his b.d., Aug. 1st. He is 24 now, Teze. He grew up SOO fast, didn't he? Sad for me, but, man, he is happy, successful, and not dippin' into the bottle too much, instead, working his 40/weekly, paying his bills, &, as far as I know, keepin' his a** out of trouble. Good job I did, don't you agree?? I sent you a letter, got sent back, wrong address, I guess. I will send it again. Hopefully with MUCH BETTER results.
Thank you for the poem and the kind thoughts. I am so glad that you had a connection with Philippians! And in three instances!!!! God works in His ways and is present in these conversations (Matthew 18:20).
Here are some other passages that have given me peace and understanding.
Matthew 6:22-23 . Just great words on filling yourself with the gospel!
John 12:24 . Just a great reminder that even in our hardest times and darkest hours, eternal life is so much more important.
Romans 5:2-9 . Knowing God loves us, and our suffering is building endurance, character and hope. Keeping in mind that God is a God of the moment (verse 6). He will allow us to struggle so we pray to Him. He becomes a more central focus in our lives.
Romans 8:28 Romans 8:31
And lastly, and I do think I saved the best for last.....1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain.
