Open My Heart 3-3-10

“Open my heart Lord, to new relationships – new covenants.  This blessing is not leaving me!  And the devil doesn’t like it!  I’m gonna walk in Your Blessing Lord.  Thank You. Amen” I was reading through my prayer journal when I found this prayer I wrote 2 weeks ago.  I don’t remember writing it.  I don’t know if I was watching a sermon or reading my Bible, but...

God’s Goodness 2-8-2010

I can’t even begin to explain how good God is to me!  I am in tears right now, knowing the He is working behind the scenes.  I got a letter from my lawyer last week saying he needed to talk to me.  So I called him today after an intense prayer session with God.  And he informs me that the government’s appeal was denied.  “What appeal?”  I didn’t know of any appeal.  And he...

I’m A Busy Girl In Prison 2/7/2010

There sure is a lot going on in prison these days.  I am so thankful that I don’t have to sit around all day and do nothing.  I think I will start with today, which is Sunday and tell you all the activities I go to.  This morning I watched church on TV – Kenneth Copeland & Creflo Dollar.  Then we worked out for an hour.  Then we have church at 6 pm.  Monday night we have a Bible study called...

Let This Old Life Crumble 2/6/10

“Let this old life crumble, let it fade”  I haven’t heard this song in a long time.  But I have  a very vivid memory of it.  I heard it the first week I was at West Baton Rouge.  I think I wrote my first blog listening to this song.  A year and a half ago I only had a glimpse of what letting my old life crumble meant.  Back then it meant me getting off drugs, finding God, and meeting...

Stranger in the Night

Written December 26, 2009 At 1:15AM, we had a stranger in our room tonight.  I woke up to a blood-curdling scream coming from the top bunk.  Terri (my bunkee) was screaming and kicking until the stranger fell out of her bed.  After the stranger struggled with her blanket, she army-crawled on all fours and bolted out the door. I thought it was Terri who fell out of the bed until I realized she was still screaming...

Christmas Day Continued

Written December 25, 2009 The devil was trying to interrupt our Christmas play tonight. Before the play, my good friend and I got in a small tiff. It was stupid actually. She felt left out yesterday because we played cards without her. So, when I asked her if she wanted to play cards tonight, she was still holding a grudge and tried to make me feel bad for not getting her yesterday to play.  I never realized...

Once Upon a Prison Christmas

Written on December 25, 2009 I woke up this morning at 6:45am to Mrs. Susie hanging up Christmas stockings full of goodies on our bulletin board.  She crocheted one for eat of my roommates. I helped her hang them and quickly grabbed hers to fill it up with treats. It totally feels like Christmas morning! I am wide awake…anxious and excited for everyone to get up. Susie just ventured out in the snow to...

Post from Randi

Written December 24, 2009 This morning I had this horrible thought about my bunkee.  I’m not even going to write it down because it wasnt right for me to think.  But it made me laugh out loud and I thought, “I’ll have to tell Jennifer this when she wakes up…she will get a good laugh too.” At the same time the Holy Spirit convicted me and said “this is what you need to work...

Praises Open Prison Doors

Blog post from Randi Spearman, November 2009 “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.” Acts 16: 25-26 Many people are trapped in the prison of their minds....
