God Amazing!!!

Here's what happened...
(on April 5,2021 - Monday)

Was minding my own business in the math class I tutor in. As I make my way from the front of the class 2 the back, so I could work on a poster bout Common Equivalents 2 Memorize, when the % comes through the back door n nods the phone he holding towards. "U got a 1:30(pm) appointment 4 Release photos!"

While he scurried off my heart sank n something happened 2 my eyes, that only the 2 witnesses can describe! A shock of some sort! Proved by the question, "U alright?... Look like U gonna faint!"

I wanted but don't know how!
My heart beat less rapidly n more at a steady pace! Like a minute between beats! (am I dead? or dying?)
My hands trembled, my legs grew jello-e! My steps grew heavier! My mind grew spacious. Lost. (where am I? Y am I?)
"R U OK?"

My teacher further inquired, "how much time between release photos n Ur release?"
"I don't know!!! I didn't get my papers yet!!!"

Roaming round my interior existence all I could do was praise

God.
No way!!
This the prayer I asked 4
2 b caught off guard with my release like Big Ski was, when out of the blue he got called 4 Release
Photos. Amen.
Now I know the feeling!!!
No way!!!
its officially official!!!
Could b Wednesday the 7th after all...
Thanks 4 inspiring me 2 tap out of the computer class n let her know (at 9am) that I got paroled n just waiting on the paperwork.
Preciate the luck she wished me though I hold the belief that
Destiny doesn't believe in luck.
N its no odds that are 7:30 this morning U answered my prayer bout "God I need some encouragement, what verse should I write on my hand?"
U responded by having me flip through Ecclesiastes. Chapter 4 verse 14 spoke 2 me
"4 OUT OF PRISON, HE COMES 2 REIGN..."
God U released me from prison, now help me 2 reign, righteously
Amen

12:42pm
got this lingering pit in my stomach

thinking if I'm gonna b able 2 get a hold of my daughter...
if not guess I'm gone surprise her
like I been praying 4 since 2015
time bout 2 tell...

12:45pm reminded me of
2 Chronicles 29:36
"...N the thing was done suddenly!..."
what a feelin
talk bout not wanting 2 sleep or eat
its not a depression
contrary
its like this lightning Luke warm burst of energy! excitement! humbling peace. a healthy fear. a AWE.

A nervousness
a "its time 2 make good on Ur Word"
U got this
thinking on the 1st day out n all I have 2 do

1pm
"Murphy did U go 2 property?"
No!?! Nobody told me 2!!!
"Well they called U like 3 times but U were gone! Head down there now."
Once there my items were searches 4 n then found, as he put the box on the table, he enquired, "U Gert Ur (exact) date yet?"
"No. But I got release photos in like 5 minutes. Maybe U can call em n see when it is!"
(said this 4 his benefit n mines!)
"Well if U got release photos..."
From there he let me try on one of the white low top Nike Air Max a friend sent.
"They fit?"
"Its all good, not like I can return em" I smiled
"the pant R 34x34! Don't 4get 2 write me 1-2 days b4 ur date so I can get this 2 the gate house."
"I got U!!!"
Felt like cloud 9! nothing like so e real clothes 2 uplift me!!!

1:30
Took my release photos
n they made sure my finger prints were in the data base
(as the saying goes... Once a criminal - Always a suspect!)
After the 2 minute ordeal I just had 2 ask
"Excuse me! Do U know when I'm leaving?"
"No! I just got an email saying take Ur photo immediately! So -"
"Yeah I was just wondering cause I still don't know when I'm going home! Or what's going on! Maybe I'll Get the paper in the mail..."

3:50pm
I'm listed as having mail
Just knew what it was,
but...
it wasn't!
But it was some other uplifting news
Packet of sermons n other words of encouragement n an Easter card
then 3 cards from the Chapel
good I can send Greg a b-day card!
Other thing was a slip from the business office telling me the % had 2 send an email 2 them 2 verify I never got the canteen I ordered...

6pm
I won't b discouraged
decided 2 write property n send the rest of my property 2 my auntie crib

Lord knows
I may get released in the blink of an eye

N the thing was done suddenly...

Amen
