Overwhelmed
by adustyframe ~ May 5th, 2008I am feeling overwhelmed right now. All the unknowns. All the things I need to do but cannot until we have some answers.
I sat on the couch this morning and prayed. I asked God to just help me to trust. I know that he is working and that this is all his.
He knows the answers and we will know when we need to know.
After I visited Lee today, I stopped at the desk to ask the guard how to bring Lee’s release clothes.
He said, “You have to buy them and mail them in.”
Ok! There isn’t even enough time to do that. And as much as I should know that the state doesn’t always exhibit common sense, how does it make sense to buy him all new things when he has a closet full of stuff?
The other guard said to call in the morning to make sure and maybe I can mail in the things he already owns.
I cried on the way home. I cried because it’s too late to order him all new clothing to have it arrive by Tuesday. I cried because I didn’t know to ask this before.
I cried because no one even told this to Lee.
How are we supposed to know this stuff?
Then I took a deep breath and said, “Ok Lord. I guess they won’t release him naked. Something will work out.”

The Lord won’t let them release him naked. I’m sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed with everything. All these changes aren’t easy. I pray that the Lord will scope you up and cuddle you close and give you the strength and wisdom to handle all these changes. Hugs!
Thank you. Your kind words were very encouraging to me.

Lizzie….look how far you have come….and you still have your sense of humor…you are right they won’t release him “naked”…you are in my prayers….just think you are one step closer to being reunited…with each other…with your son…and how blessed to know that the Lord is in your “CIRCLE” binding you all together with HIS LOVE. God Bless, Pam, South Bend

The Lord will work it out and I am anxious to hear how he does it. You have a place in many a heart and we care and are praying.
Thank you, Peggie. Your comment is so kind.
