Had a one on one visit with an inmate this past week that lasted almost 3 hours. Jarred had just served 4 years for burglary, saw his 3 year old son for the first time during the month he was out and now has to go right back in for another year for a dui. I pray that God can wake him up to what he needs to learn about himself so that he can get home soon to his son.
Of course, Jarred , we all know , and especially you know, the kind of father that your boy needs to come home to him. One thats been made new. New like only God can make. Get outa His way. Let Him.
This week I was starting to .....yes worry, with only the one donation from J. Burke for the bilingual bible and absolutely no bibles on hand for this week. Of course , as I type this , I now remember how that was such a surprise, a few weeks ago, to have my first donation and then had my first request from a prisoner for a special bible only an hour later. Why should there be any surprise that God will just give as its needed. That should just make it that much easier to not have to worry about lots of book storage or extra money to splurge with.
anyway , I was starting to worry this week with being fresh outa bibles and then here comes J. Hawkins donatin 5 bibles this wednesday. guess I shoulda had more faith and remembered God's perfect timing through J. Burke before I broke down and charged more Free on the Inside bibles on Tuesday.
All praise and Glory to You God for Your provisions for this mission.
p.s. sorry for getting in the way again and trying to be in control.
