"i invite YOU in": HOPE SEE's TODAY from YESTERDAY

Let's just say I couldn't see this day six years ago.....though, while I was "there", I imagined it every year that my family was here. And it is the imagination that can often be a preview of coming attractions. Anyway, last time I was in Florida was 6 years ago--post-tragedy and pre-prison. And as Magic Kingdom was an amusement option during that time with my family--please understand--it wasn't ALL "Disney" for me....In fact, I would soon be in the upside down kingdom of prison ran by the DOC (Department of Corrections). I mean, I was beyond numb at that time and couldn't believe I had done what I had done. But now I'm here and I'm thinking about what I was thinking about when I was "there." It's still surreal because "there" was an ugly place. A very violent and diabolical place. Far from magical. More like fatal. But from the isolation of "there", I saw the celebration of here.....with my family--where "there" was a place where I was doing a lot of time and cut off from my family. While I was "there", they were here. Nonetheless and only because of God's breath, I saw the neon lights of Downtown Disney and perhaps a moonlight walk with my Sarita. I saw the resort and the channels of pools. I saw it in my heart and I knew that "that day" would eventually be "today." You see, hope see's today from yesterday.I am not writing this way to let you know where I am. But I am writing in this direction to let you know where I've been and how far God has taken me since then. Who would have ever imagined I'd be where I am, when it was so hard to see it way back when. However, I'll say it again--HOPE SEE's TODAY from YESTERDAY.
