“Good Grief!”
Good grief, That is what i feel today. Over the last few weeks, I have experienced more pain than since the beginning of my incarceration. I have to say that; Momma said there’d Be days like this! as the the old rock-N-roll song goes. In this case My Momma real did say it..
I have been trying to find God in all that is going on in my life. Let me rewind the tape on events. Saturday Aug 17, My Aunt Alberta Walton was called to be with God. (My Mothers Sister), Friday Aug 5, the younger brother; Lee E Eggerson III, was shot and Aug 9, He was call into the heavenly host to wait for the rest of the family with My oldest Brother Leon Dandredge. But wait, there’ s More. My Beautiful Mother’s (Delores Eggerson) Birthday was on Aug 4th, and my Dad (Lee E. Eggerson Jr. had to be rushed to the hospital, only to find out he had gangrene in his baby from a cist that was was only found because he had to have his gallbladder removed. But Doctors kept sending him home saying, nothing was wrong. and if you thought I was done, My oldest sister (Carla Smith) has to wear a life vest due to being stung by something that the doctors can’t Identify the venom of what bite her. and I keep getting denied relief in the courts, even when the laws Have changed; such as the staking of 924(c)s and despite, not having one write-up since being sentenced March 2002 (over 23 years) and competing over 200 plus programs, maintaining a 4.0 GPA in a college courses, becoming a certified master Personal Trainer and Model Prisoner.
Now that is an August to grieve over!
[G]od [R]eighs [I]n [E]very [F]ailure!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inspitge of every thing that I am going through, I know that God is in control and has my best interest in mind. I wake up at night and I ask God why are you trying and testing Me and My family like this, and I the answer that come to my mind and in my sprite is (WHY NOT YOU!)
Wow, That’s is something that you can never prepare for; nor understand God’s plan and or vision for you life. God is the reason I am standing today, I wanted to give-up so many times, But the God Up-bring that my Mom and Dad.
I was taught to trust God and allow his will to work in my life, But How? When every-thing looks like I am losing; not just my mind, but everything else that matters. Good Question.
I have to stand even when the world is falling apart, I have to stand in the gap for My loved ones that are hurting and can’t see a way clear. I have to stand for the ones that don’t know how to fight or stand on their own. And when I can’t stand I have to take a knee and give God the praise he is due, not for moving the mountains in my life. But for giving me the strength to climb. And when climbing want work, just for leading me all around them.
See in the darkest of times God is there even when you can’t see him, can’t feel him, can’t hear him! In every failure of your life God is God and he will not fail. So what I felt was failure; God saw as opportunity to strengthen my faith in him. God saw ME as I was. Broken and ready for his good use, See when I (we) am weak, HE is STRONG. When I can’t go, He carry’s Me over the hurdles in my way.
So in your time of Grief know that God has a plan and you are key to it. Stand! Never give in, or out and know that God Reigns in every failure.
