Dear Ruby,
I hope you’re doing well. The seasons are changing and the weather keeps fluctuating. I hope you guys are taking time to have bonfires and enjoy nature.
I finally got my tablet, hopefully I can have enough to talk to you about now that i can send short messages out more frequently.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the selection of music on these tablets. I know names like Mr. T Experience, The Vandals,Band of Horses,and The Shins probably mean nothing to you but maybe one day they will. I always wonder if you ended up with my love for music, i remember when you were little you would make up your own songs and tell us how you wanted to be a song writer, so I can’t help but think you must love music. I really hope you will check out Zach Williams, he has a song called Lookin for You that really hits home.
I still haven’t heard anything about you. I hope that you have not been poisoned against me. It has been 4 years today that I’ve been locked away. That is a long time to be without your heart. God gives me the strength every day to keep focused and moving forward. It would be really easy in a place like this to lose hope and give in to the devil’s tricks, but God lights the way for me.
I want you to remember those two words, but God. Any misfortune that befalls you can be discouraging, but God will protect you, but God will provide for you, but God will comfort you.
He doesn’t make the misfortune not have happened, he makes it not matter. He gives you something better. I’m eager for the “but God” in the time we have been separate. I have already started the experience in the “I have to spend this time in jail,” but God has revealed himself to me and opened my eyes to the happiness there is in walking with him.
I’ll continue to pray for you, your mom, and brothers and sister, i even pray that Colby is treating you and your mom well.
Remember, God made you special and he loves you very much.
Love,
Daddy
