What do you think??

This is a copy of the letter I sent my prison inmate boyfriend today. It's good, read it. You have my permission to copy and use it for personal reasons. You'll see what I mean.

 

 

Look here, Babe… (exhale) I love you. Everything in my heart and soul wants to be with you… but the wisdom in my spirit is telling me it’s not right. Not right now? Not right yet? Not right ever? I don’t know… It’s up to you I think…Selah.           See, I am ready. Ready to be your wife... when it’s time… IF, you love me. You can just say it. The word love hardly compares to the action that it is meant to represent. You have to LOVE me, like I’m meant to be loved. The way my Daddy (God) set love up to be from the beginning. Like how He would love me if I were His wife. If you want to know how, you have to study. Knowledge is acquired and applied only by the wise men of this world…Selah. You don’t yet know about this, but Jesus is a gangster, I’m trying to tell you. You just don’t know, yet.          If you want to know where my heart is, there in an ancient proverb in the love letters that is my heart’s cry. I’ve read it at least a thousand times. She is what I want to be when I grow up.          I want you to be proud of what God has given you, and I want Him to give ME to you, BUT…now listen up!…cause, this is the whole thing… You have to position yourself to receive it.           Don’t know what that looks like? Neither do I. That’s between you and your Dad, the one that’s tapping you on the shoulder right now. The one who knew what you would become before you were conceived, and put you here anyway, cause He’s not done with you yet. He has a plan, STILL. You can’t mess up His love for you, you just can’t! He loves you no matter what you do! He’s crazy like that.  Just ask Him about it and see if He doesn’t answer you. And, besides all that jazz, it’s the only way to get me, Ronald! I am a prize only my Father can give, I am not my own to give away to whom ever I please, I was bought with a price.  That’s in the letters, too.  I have to follow in my Father’s footsteps. I will not yield! I hope you get on the same path. I want to walk it with you. I hope, I hope.  However… if you don’t, then it just wasn’t meant to be. Perhaps, God has someone else chosen to be your wife. And I will miss you, but it will not stop me from pursuing my path, and it will likely lead me away from you.It’s all up to you, Baby. I hope you make the right ones!  I’m not going to ask for much. I want you to make your own plans on how you’re going to pull yourself up. Then, I’m going to watch, to see what you do. If you can’t keep at least most of the plans you made for yourself… I just don’t see it working out between us. You will make or break yourself. I can be a support, but I can’t be your strong tower, I wasn’t built to withstand that kind of pressure, it will buckle me. I was made to be my man’s helper; it is your job to lead us. Can you do it? Can I trust you to lead me in the right direction if I make you my king?...

Mar. 19, 2007 at 5:50 PM It's a very well written letter sweetie! This is exactly how God wants us to feel, and think about ourselves! I only wish there were more young girls who could and would respect themselves and see themselves in the light of Jesus. He calls you beautiful! We were created in the very image of God! To love and be loved. To nurture and be nurtured. The only part of your letter that I didn't understand was the sentence that said Jesus was a gangster. What did you mean by that, if you don't mind explaining to me. You see, I'm 52, and don't always understand you youngin's terminology. :) Thanks for putting such a wonderful post out for all to read! I enjoyed it.

Jesus is a gangster?  Ummm.. no.

Why did you continue to have kids while you were a drug addict and dating a man who is in prison?  I think you need to move on and get yourself together for your kids' sake.  They already have a tough road ahead as mixed race children of a single mother without a father.  Ditch the loser in jail and maybe, just maybe you can find a decent man.

hmmmm i think this letter is very well written, and it it good to see a woman that knows what she wants and won't let a man deter her from it. 

Momor2...I know this comment wasn't for me, but I feel like replying.  Maybe I missed it, but how do you know what her situation is...how do you know he's a loser, and or guilty, or a dead beat dad?  Maybe you read it somewhere else, and I didn't see it.  If that is the case, I apologize, but if it isn't..you have quite a bit to say and or quite a bit of hate for someone you know nothing about.  Just a little curious thet's all.
