God is so amazingly awesome isnt he? I mean he sends us so many blessings and half the time we dont even realize it is of him.
Yes, Leo is in prison, but we have found peace in that, and we know that God has him there to prepare him for his future. What I want to talk about is how God touched me this weekend and gave me a blessing that really was enormous.
I was blessed yet once again to go see Leo. God has blessed me to be able to do that almost every weekend since he was incarcerated in April of 07. As I visited him on Saturday another lady that I had met at the marriage seminar was there. We agreed to go have dinner together and for me to stay over with her because she was able to see her husband on Sunday too. We sat in that hotel room and just really opened the doors to our lives. Turns out that the four of us, her husband, her, Leo and myself, live lives that are identical to one another. Things I have told her of where Leo and I are now, she was amazed because she was there, I look at her and can see where we are going. The similarities carry over into our grandchildrens names, our husbands habits, our age difference, and many many more. It was a way for us to look into eachothers lives and see ourselves. Now no body but God could have done that. Could be that we each needed questions answered and God provided us for one another? I believe that to be the case.
I reminded her of how far she has come. I reminded her of the battles that her and her husband have won. She showed me that me and Leo can make it. Both of us are believes in Jesus and now we have a bond that is unbreakable. Its funny where you meet people that will impact your life. Dont ever assume that you meet anyone by chance. NO,,, it is always orchastrated by God himself. People come into your lives to teach you, to be taught by you, reason, season or lifetime!!!!!!
Many blessing to all of you wonderful spouses that are supporting a loved one in prison. The road is tough but God knew you would make that travel and not break.
