I can’t even begin to explain how good God is to me! I am in tears right now, knowing the He is working behind the scenes. I got a letter from my lawyer last week saying he needed to talk to me. So I called him today after an intense prayer session with God. And he informs me that the government’s appeal was denied. “What appeal?” I didn’t know of any appeal. And he says, “They didn’t think they gave me enough time, so they appealed it.” He thought he sent me the paperwork, but I never got it. Probably for the best, because I would have had more worries. So then he goes on to tell me that the City of New Orleans also wanted to charge me, but agured that I had already plead out, so they dropped that as well. I had no idea any of that was even going on.
God has been looking out for me! I am so blessed with the time I did get sentenced to and God is still working in my favor. Even though I have been praying everyday “Please send me home early.” God is answering: “I am child, I Am.” WOW!!!!
My friend (well, I guess Randi’s friend too), Natalie, told me about this blog. I just wanted to send Randi this verse in reply to this post. She may already know it, but it’s my favorite scripture and seems to apply here.
Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
