Of course – it is snowing today. Why does that not surprise me? Two years ago it snowed in Baton Rouge when I had an important court date and I had to rescedule. I had made a deal with God then. I said that I was gonna read through the Bible twice and then I wanted to go home. And I really though I was ready too.
But on the day of court, I wasn’t finished with the second read through and it was snowing. I was only in Job. The verses that I read that day said:
“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; He does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that all men He has made may know His work; He stops every man from his labor.” Job 37:5-7
I was like “Woah God- good one! Thanks for the snow so I can finish my reading and fulfill my part of the deal.”
Well, needless to say, the deal I made with God wasn’t part of His plan and I didn’t go home. And a good thing too cause I wasn’t ready. I still had lots to learn and lots to go through. And I can still say the same thing today.
So here I am again – 2 years later – waiting for the next chapter to begin in the journey through prison. And once again I am reminded of these verses.
I could leave any day for the drug program. Each day I hope is one that they call my name to pack out. But God says to “Be still and know that He is God.”
He knows I am still here. And He hasn’t forgotten me. There is a reason I haven’t left yet. He is still making the way for me. And I am confident that I am where I am supposed to be.
you are right god does know where we are even at times when we are not sure ourselfes the time will come and you will begin the next journey in your life may god blees you and take care of you martha
