Marietta, Georgia

I decided to get away from my family this week. I took off to Georgia. Mother was yelling and complaining and making me very, very nervous. So I decided to just take off and forget everybody. I think to myself how grateful I am to be single with no attachments. Anyway, I had a reason for coming down to Georgia. I went to visit an old friend of mine, who just happens to be in jail....again. My family has mixed feelings about me visiting her, but I visited her anyway. I've visited her twice in the past couple of days. She's all fired up for God and wants to live for Jesus again. She swears she's through with drugs and the other stuff that comes with it. She talked all day today about her prayer journal and that she believing God for a short time in jail and a drug-rehabilitation center. I believe that she'll get what she needs and wants. She's so happy where she is though. She's prayed for everybody that needs to come out of her life to get out of her life, so all her bad friends have abandoned her. She is so grateful to God for that. The Lord put Pam in my heart a few weeks ago and I looked for her on the Internet. She was under one of Georgia's prison sites and I looked up the inmate. She was so grateful to get my letters when I first wrote her. I was so afraid that she'd reject me again like the last time I tried to get ahold of her. But this time was different. She said that she received all my messages, but she didn't answer them because I was from God and she wasn't ready to make up with God yet at the time I called her several years before. But she is so ready for God now, and I'm grateful to have her friendship back in my life again. She's really proud of her son too, who is attending drug-rehabilitation center and working to support the funds for it. Well, I've been on base since Wednesday evening and I'm due to leave Saturday, tomorrow, morning. I don't know if I want to stay another day or not though. I was thinking that maybe I should go to church here, like I used to do 10 years ago. But things are different now. I've got a church in Ohio to attend now with people who love me and pastor and his wife always checks up on me. I've been so mad lately though. I left a message on my cell phone saying "I've gone to Georgia and I might just go to Florida. Goodbye." What a terrible message for my pastor to hear when he called to say hello. I'm so afraid to call him back. I guess I have some explaining to do. And through all this, I shrugged off my doctor's appointment at the VA. Time for bed. I slept all day after I went to see Pamela, ate, and gassed up my car. I just got up about an hour ago. Guess I'll just go back to bed. Oh yeah, I did go to Barnes & Noble's Book Store today before seeing Pamela again. I got same old books, except they were marked down at bargain prices this time. Topics: herbs and essential oils. Goodnight. Savior Jesus, Save me!
