July 1, 2015Great time ministering to the ladies in Jefferson Jail today. One of the ladies that has been coming was sharing how she has hardened her heart and put walls up so she can't get hurt. Started talking about her kids and how she won't let them get closer to her so she won't get hurt when she messes up and has to leave them. Since she has been coming to one side of the jail. One lady needed to be there cause she really was struggling with trusting God with her children cause she has a few months to serve and her mom is sick. She had fear that her kids would be taken away from her. The ladies shared on how she needs to trust God with them. We had a great time of sharing with the 3. Having a small group sometimes is good cause God knows who needs to be ministered to. Alot of tears flowed today from her as she shared some deep hurts she had from her family. She was learning that she needs to let them go so she can become healthy and stay healthy. Her brother mistreated her and she was hanging onto the hurt. One of the ladies told her she needs to move on cause he has. And that he still has control of her life as she is acting out even when he is not even around her. Great time of discussion. Went to Opal House and met with one of my girls doing great. We went to doing some running and she was grateful. Thank you Lord for what you did today. Glory to you... |
July 8, 2015A great day in Jefferson Jail today. I got in late. But God still moved even though I only had 3 ladies cause they had a meeting in the regular room I go in so they only would bring me some side of the jail.

July 15, 2015Wonderful time at Jefferson Jail today. I was blessed to go twice. 1 pm & 6 pm my normal time I had 9 women come and we did our chapter on Expectant End and our discussion went well. One lady talked how she was a drug addict and she said she didn't see anything wrong with having a beer. All the ladies spoke to her on how that was an open door to getting back on drugs. She listened and took the advice we were giving her. The discussion went well. Left and spent some time with one of my ladies at the Opal House. She was struggling with her recovery. Talked and helped her get through it. I need my home so bad. Can't wait for that special day. Went back at 6 pm and we had 15 ladies come. One of my ladies was at Turning Point and got out and messed up back on drugs. We discussed how she knows how she went with the wrong person. She did not use her skills. She let her mind say it was okay. We had 2 ladies who are friends just find out before they came to me that their daughters had been in a serious auto accident yesterday. Both started crying and I stopped the meeting and asked all the girls to form a circle as I took the two of them held their hands and prayed for the peace of God to wrap them in His arms as they held each other and wept. They were worried because they were there and was after and who was taking care of them and one of them is probably going to jail and she is only 14. The conversation went well as we shared how they need to break the cycle. How trusting God is all they have right now. Tears flowed as one shared "I know the way they say the accident was that God had to spare their lives." That really opened up a great conversation. We talked about how they are in there and that they should be home with their children. Lord these women needNormally I can help with things like this, but I don't seem to have access to that content. You can try again or ask me for something else.  | |
