These last couple of months have been great! God has showed me in many different ways that He’s still in the blessing business. I have great family support and I am so thankful for that. God keeps me and my family strong during this time in our lives. My incarceration not only affects me, but my family. It’s like they are locked up too. I feel like a burden at times and want to do what is in my power to make it easier, but my family lets me know they are not giving up or giving in to the Devil’s plan, and that keeps me strong. Sometimes, it’s not about us it’s about God and the plan He has to do the work through us, no matter where we are. I’ve met some amazing people in this place, inmates and staff. You see God will show you that everybody is not bad, they just made a bad decision. Still, God blesses us every day to wake up and start over again to make this world a better place no matter where you are or what you’ve done. I’ve got an extended family because I was in this place called Tennessee Prison for Women, and that family is Lipscomb University. God has plans for our lives and He will do or let be done to you to get your attention. You can take a negative thing in your life and make something positive out of it. That’s what God gives me the strength to do every day I wake up. I’m not only thankful, I’m grateful to be in the middle of God’s blessing business
