Shalom Friends
I am so blessed to be part of Anna and Debbies 31 Days of Miracles Series, I would love for you to read my story and be encouraged! We never what God is doing sometimes, but He is always up to something Good!
I knew this man I loved had a tragic past but the stories he would
tell me made no sense in my mind, he was a new man, a new creature in
our Beloved Saviour. I did not see the stories as part of our lives, I
did not even see them as part of Yosef’s life, I only saw God and that
was all I needed to know. But in August 2008, the past caught up with us
in a very big way.
We were on holiday up the coast when the phone rang. It was a call
from a parole officer with a warrant for Yosef’s arrest. Years before,
Yosef had been tried for a charge of house breaking and was sentenced to
community service but he had run away from his community service
conviction and hiked down to Cape Town. In 2004 he had stood before a
magistrate and had all his outstanding charges dropped against him, but
what he didn’t know was that the community service charge had not been
picked up at the time. He would have to be tried again and this time the
law was dead against him. He had run away and was now facing a 6-year
jail sentence without the offer of parole. The officers had travelled
down to Cape Town from up North and his arrest was to made immediately.
Our world spun out of control. Yosef was handcuffed, put in to the back
of a police van, held in various police cells while they travelled up
North and all the while I stayed behind, crying and praying.....
