Miles to go

Hello all. 

Well, we were working on a few things to get dad home early and thought that they were very promising. However, none of our plans came through. It was a let down yes, but we are still always believing that God is in control.

Dad is okay. He misses everyone like crazy... please be sure to write him if you get a chance. He has recently gotten into reading! He likes all kinds of books so if you like, please send him a paper back book to read. I know it would brighten his heart. But if you can't, please still remember to send him a quick letter. You have no idea how much it means to him to get a letter from some one he loves. It is those letters, the few phone calls he makes, the visits he gets, and the prayers we send up for him, that help keep him going. It is all he has to look forward to on a day to day basis besides knowing the each day that passes is one day closer to him coming home. Right now we have reached 3 years and 8 months until dad comes home. It still seems like forever, and it still seems like so much more time has passed, but we know that through that power of prayer God can still do a miracle. And we know that even if that miracle is dad getting home safely in 3 years and 8 months, that we can get through this because we have the love of one another.

One day, dad will be home again, and life will be right; until then,

Please keep Jeff Pierson in your prayers.

Thank you and God bless.

  1. Dear Shenikah

    Even though I'm not directly affected by your familys loss and knowing your father is not with you. I feel sad that this has happened to your family. I have read your story about what has happened in the past and I'm glad you have support for Jeff. I'm a mother with 2 daughters and it would be really difficult for any father to be taken away from his wife and children. I will say a prayer for you and wish your Dad a sooner passage home. God Bless, Sincerely Sarah Rolie

    1. Thank you so much for your prayers. I believe prayer goes a long way. It pushes past the gates of heaven and into the Lords ears and sometimes I think we take that for granted, so thank you so much for the prayers you send in regards to my dad and family.

  2. What kind of books do you think he would like? And where can we mail them?

    1. He likes all sorts of books. Terry Blackstock is a good christian author he enjoys. I have a post on where to go to send mail but if you go to the BOP website, it explains how to send mail/books. Thank you

  3. Shekinah, I messaged you on youtube as "Bob". I just wanted to say I still support your family and your father and I pray for him regularly.

    Never let the ignorance of the masses dampen your spirit.

    1. Thank you Bob. However, I no longer have my speak out account on youtube. I'm not sure who you messaged, but it wasn't me. Sorry. Thank you for your prayers
