Hello everyone. Well, I went to see dad last weekend, as well as, the weekend before that (fathers day). The visits were all very much the same as before. Dad is trying to adjust to this new life and we are still trying to get him home. Part of me is always holding on to the hope that God will do a miracle and bring dad home soon so please keep praying, but if it is God's will for dad to stay.... he will need prayers for strength and for wisdom. I find myself asking God 'why' more than anything, however, God has not seen it fit to answer my pleas just yet. I fear that as time goes on, more and more people will move on and forget about the injustice that has happened to my dad. I don't blame anyone for it, I just pray that he stays in the prayers of those who love him.
With that said, mom and Nanny are on their way to spend the 4th will dad now. As bad as I wish I could join them, I have duties to tend to at home this weekend.
Dad, you are always in my heart, on my mind, and the center of my prayers. We all love you so much and I will never give up hope in God's power. I am praying everyday that you can home form that terrible place, where you do not deserve to be. I love you.
As time goes on, please try to remember to keep dad in your prayers. Also know, that if you have anything you would like for me to pray about for you, I would be more than happy. We are prayer warriors and we can pray for more than one thing at a time. That is the beauty of this gift God has given us. Also, be praying for dad's cell mates. He is trying to bring them into the Christian family so that they can share a part of God's glory. Thanks so much for every prayer.
Keep Jeff Pierson in your prayers!

You don't have to approve this post if you don't want to. It's more of a personal message to you. Prayer is important and it DOES help. But, if I may suggest, please try not to hope to much for a miracle. So often, miracles lead to disappointment, which in turn leads to anger, and then finally to hatred. We don't want more hate in this world, especially when it is directed towards God. You need to pray for strength. Strength for your father, your family, and for yourself. Miracles do occur, but don't rely on them. Rely on the goodness God brings to our lives. It may be awhile before your dad is released. But he WILL be released. Until that day comes, pray for strength, not a miracle. Days go by slow, but years go by fast. When your dad is finally freed, he will be home.... forever. Peace.
ReplyDeleteStay stong kinah. Have a great 4th of July holiday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric and Jerry.
ReplyDeleteJerry, I will never give up hope that God can change the situation but if He thinks dad needs to be there, I'm sure there is a reason. i have already done the anger thing... I know there is no good in it. God has a reason for all of this, and one day we will know what it is. Thanks for all the kind words!
You have a right to be angry & you are very strong. I think you and some of the other girls should get a literary agent & publish a book.
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of trying to write mine now.
