Today

Today. "As long as it is called Today"

This day, I am reminded of God's consistancy in His work. He doesnt stop, I tune in and out. And by His grace He has allowed me to tune in and be a part of a small blip of what He is doing in Cassie LaBelle's life. She was an inmate at the Deerlodge Correctional Facility last year - essentially she was the reason I went to visit. I remember Rocky talking about her in Imago Dei, way before him and I were anything, and feeling so heavy for her. I couldnt get her off my mind and then Rock asked if I wanted to go to Deerlodge with them. I remember being terrified but knowing I had to meet her. Talking with her on a few different occasions last year certainly became some of the highlights of the whole year. Then this year, knowing she wasnt there, I still wanted to go to Deerlodge, and find a way to get in touch with her. Several times my emotions were thrown through loops in finding out that I could maybe find her and then hearing it was impossible. Today, I got her inmate number at the Montana Womens Prison in Billings. I can write her. I feel in a lot of ways Ive come down from the high and am left with the Knowledge of Gods faithfulness and persistance in awesome things. It seems really clear to me how little I am in all of this, and like He is letting me ride on the skirts of what He is doing.

Also I get to see Rocky in 2 1/2 days. But whos counting? I think this may be the most I have anticipated seeing him. Knowing we have so much to talk about and that its not all easy but that he brings me so much JOY and that I want to be that for him to in a way that is glorifying to the Lord and what He promises to those who love Him.

Thankfulness.
