Amen, and I wanted to share with you a few things.
About a month ago here they were going to force me to do school and then to take the GED test. I said that I graduated high school and even did a semester in college, in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I played ball and did a semester in 2005. They were given the info to request and acquire the transcripts when I first got here. They didn’t go through with it, so I prayed Lord, I don’t want to have to go and do 2 hrs at day school. I would rather spend that time with You LORD. Please work it out that I won’t have to. I want to spend more time with You, and because of circumstances and things, I know the LORD was asking me: Are you sure you want more time with me? I said yes Lord. Well, show me. So, I, not knowing if I would still have to do the schooling, began to pray more and serve the LORD more, I mean in various ways and wanting to. Time goes by and it all works out in ways that usually don’t. So, confirmation from the LORD, so I said of course LORD since I am spending more time with you and enjoying it, I will not stop but continue, thank you for helping me. Then 2 times in the past few weeks, guys have come to me to work at commissary, probably one of the “best” jobs in prison, for various reasons. But would take 8+ hours a day from time I spend with the LORD and serving Him. I said LORD, I don’t want to do it, not because I am lazy but because I love being in Your presence and serving You. God is taking care of expenses for my family and I thank God and all who give, I can eat well and better than the food that they serve here. Yes, I have times that they don’t sell commissary and it is a bit hard but when I can I eat healthier. And I am thankful for that. Dick, brother, I want to serve the LORD with all my life and He be the One who sustains me and my family. I am not lazy and will work if I have to when I get out but I believe that the LORD has something bigger for me. Set apart to serve Him completely and my family join me one day. You and I are doing it already right now and I expect bigger things when I get out. I pray for an open door when I get out to be able to preach and be on interviews and everything without this evil system being able to stop me, so I wait on the LORD and believe He will do it at the right time, and that is one reason I believe that I am not out yet.
God bless you, just wanted to share that.
I don’t love the things of this world. I love the One who made this world!!!
