I visited again
by adustyframe ~ March 19th, 2007Hee hee!
I just HAD to!
It was so much easier today. Since I knew what to expect, I didn’t get a sick feeling in my stomach like I usually do when I make prison visits.
To see him 2 days in a row almost felt “normal”. We talked and laughed. We played a new card game he showed me.
I was sitting on the couch last night praying.
This move was a direct answer to prayer. Yet, it creates new demands on my time. I prayed that the Lord would help me to work it all out and figure out how to make our marriage a top priority while still doing everything else.
This morning a lady at church called and offered to help me with some things to make visiting easier. I told her she was an answer to prayer.
I am just so thankful to have him so close. I’ve been able to spend 4 hours with him over the last 2 days. Relief probably best describes my feelings.
I honestly can feel that a burden has been lifted.
Thank you Lord for caring about us. Thank you for working out the details to bring Lee closer to us. Thank you for the time we have been able to spend together.

I haven’t been commenting much lately, but I have been praying for you, and checking your blog daily! I am so glad that your husband is so close and continue to pray for the day when he is truly home! Is your son able to go visit too? I can’t imagine how difficult that would be, especially when it’s time to go home. When was the last time he saw his daddy?
You all remain in my prayers,
Angel

Lizzie! I’ve been out of town since Friday. Just read all the updates about your husband being moved, you getting to visit him, having a business coach available to you for free, signing up for the marriage seminar, Lee getting to skip the sorting facility, that he was grouped with other Christians, and the thing that had me sobbing … the analogy of the shackles and sin. I love that God is speaking so clearly to Lee. I love that God is taking care of you and answering your prayers. I am sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks and praying my heart out for your family. And thanking God over and over for you and for His abundant love toward you.
Love,
Christy

Incredible news! So happy for you!
I remember a while back you posted about how you were nervous about life after Lee comes home… you know, living together as a married couple again after being apart, not falling back into old ways, strengthening your marriage, etc. Maybe moving Lee to a facility so close to home and these frequent visits is God’s way of helping you to both prepare and reconnect again before his homecoming???
Ditto EEEEMommy… can little boy visit Daddy at the new facility?
I will be sure to give thanks in my prayers for your recent blessings ~ Jenn
