Ruby,
Hey sweetheart! I miss you so much and I’m even closer to seeing you again than ever before. I hope your summer has been going well and that these last few storms didn’t leave you without power for too long. Grandma Babe didn’t have electricity for 3 days! She said it was really hot too, yikes!
As crazy as it sounds, I can’t wait to get to prison. I currently have been in custody in the county jail longer than anyone else, the person closest to me is 74 days less than me. What a crappy record to hold, lol. When I get to prison, I can buy a tablet and I’m certain there will be Christian podcasts to listen to. I’m eager to have more understanding of God’s word. In here, I watch In Touch w/ Dr. Charles Stanley on Sunday mornings; he talks about a lot of good stuff. Once I have my tablet, I’ll be able to write you and tell you more to help you understand God. When you finally read these letters, don’t be scared to tell your mom that you want to learn more about Jesus. She can find the resources to help you learn.
I’ve been really asking God for guidance lately. I read a letter your mother wrote recently that used blatant lies, half-truths, and manipulation to try and hurt me further. It really opened my eyes to the depths of evil people are willing to go to in order to exact revenge. As crazy as it is to say, I forgive her. I can try and try to understand and justify why she would lie, but I don’t need to understand her reasoning to forgive her.
I want you to know this though, I never threatened to hurt your mother or Dylan. I never committed any act to put you in any risk of harm. Anyone who knows me knows that to be a fact. Your mom or Dylan can say anything they want to say, they can believe it if they want, but that doesn’t make it true.
Just know, I don’t have to seek revenge, I don’t have any desire to cause your mom, Dylan, or anyone to suffer. John 3:21 says, “He who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” I’ll continue to walk in this light and give praise to Him, He will see me through these trials and persecutions. Things will play according to God’s will and I know that means we will be able to talk soon.
In the meantime, start talking to God. He is the almighty Father. Tell Him your problems, your worries; ask for guidance and direction. You may be surprised to hear a response somewhere unexpected.
I love you and will see you soon.
Love,
Daddy
