9-30-15 Birthday - Prison
Well, another year passes me by and for the first time in a really
long time I am grateful to be alive. I am however in a bit of despair as
I feel alone inside. I know the Lord is always walking by my side and
helps me with anything I may stumble upon and I have prayed a lot today
for him to deliver me from this feeling. My other half is incarcerated
right now and I miss him dearly. I miss his touch, kisses and
ultimately his companionship. I don't even have the desire for anyone
but him. I have thought what it might be like walking away but I know
deep inside no one will ever compare to the happiness and belonging he
shares with me. Many are judgmental and expect one to just walk away
from him but I realize they do not understand God's Law. God's law is
Love. Hebrews 13:3 states "Remember those who are in prison, as though
in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in
body" and I know the Lord does not want me to turn my back as much of
this broken world has on him. I will be his ray of hope to help him deal
with a loneliness that I could not imagine. I also was imprisoned and I
know first hand how awful of a feeling this was. Alone, desperate,
broken and hopeless. I always point him to scripture when he is down or
angry well for practically anything as I don't know the answers but I do
know who does, God. He is good if only we learn to seek him in the
right moments, which is every moment. I am still working on this as well
but God does not expect perfection but delights in progression. I must
remember it has taken me 20+ years to become this broken and it will
take time to become less broken. I am not sure once you're broken that
you can ever become "unbroken" as those scars still remain but with time
and God as my reference I believe he will make me wise enough to know
what to do in every situation so long as I seek him. He will transform
my mind and heart so slowly that I will not even realize as it's
happening and one day I will be able to look back and see just how far
he has brought me. Thank you Lord, my father and comforter in all the
parts of my life.
