We Are Refined by Our Trials 11-19-09
We were talking today about why God allows us to go through trials and one of my friends said she wouldn’t want to be the only one in Heaven without a story to tell. I absolutely love that! When we all get to Heaven we are going to be sharing our testimonies with everyone we meet! And it would be awful to not have gone through anything with God! Praise God that He brigs us through the fiery furnace...

My Interview 10-23-09
I had an interview for the puppy training program today. I was very nervous. I haven’t applied for a job in over 2 years. My people skills are not what they used to be. I used to be able to sell myself at anything I applied for. I was good at what I did and I had the skills and experience to do the work I did. But I am really disappointed in myself. The interview was not easy. Maybe it...

Tangled Up in Drugs Continued
I know I have said before that I have had a bad choice of boyfriends, but that wasn’t always the case. Sometimes I was a bad influence on them. My last boyfriend didn’t eve smoke meth until he met me. I was an addict, I smoked every day and eventually he smoked it because I did. He told me once that he would marry me if I wasn’t on drugs. I didn’t understand it then because...

Pill Shopping 9/13/09
I started hanging out at the dope man’s house every day. I was working at a restaurant as a waitress. And when I wasn’t working, I was getting high. I would help him get supplies to cook the meth. Therefore, I never paid for my drugs because I was helping. I used to go “pill shopping” for him.
Letme explain. If you have ever wondered why you have to buy Sudafed from behind...

Tangled Up In Drugs 9/12/09
Shauna came to see me today and she said I needed to write more. She said she still gets questions about how a sweet little Christian girl, like myself is doing 7 years at a federal prison. And now that I am sentenced, I can go into more details about how I got wrapped up-tangled up- and tied up in the drug world.
I remember the summer that I first tried meth. It was the summer I turned 19. I remember...

Settled In 9-8-09
Hey Readers!! I am finally settled in at Carswell. And I have so much to be thankful for. If I ever thought I was at church camp… it is now! We get to be outside all day long. I don’t have a job yet so I am just soaking up the sun…relaxing… feeding the squirrels out of my hand. I have been walking the track in the mornings, praying and singing. The track goes down by the...

Blessings Indeed 9-4-09
“Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand would be with me…And God granted him that which he requested.” (I Chronicles 4:10)
God is blessing me indeed! This is a new scripture for me and I have been praying the Jabez Prayer everyday since I read it in Oklahoma. And let me tell you how God is blessing me! For starters, I am back in the DFW area! ...

Randi – Relocated
Hello All,
Just wanted to let you know that Randi has been transferred to a women’s prison in Ft. Worth, TX. She is now at Carswell Federal Medical Center & happy to be there. Well, as happy as she can be. I have talked with her twice since she got there and my mom was able to get a special visit on Saturday while she was in town. I hope to visit this week if they get me approved on the list. Federal...

I’m In Transit 8/17/09
I am finally in transit! Praise the Lord! I am hoping to be transferred this week. I’ve been preparing for this since I got sentenced. I sent my books home and I’ve already cleaned out my drawer. It is most definitely time to go!
This has been my “home” for the past 13 months. Although I have lots of memories here…I’m not gonna miss much about this place. The...
In July 2008, my younger sister, Randi Spearman, was incarcerated in Baton Rouge, LA. This website brings you a story of hope. You will hear from Randi and other women & men in the prison system.
Randi is living a freedom unlike she ever did outside of that prison. I hope you take this walk with us and keep an open heart. These women are precious gifts from God and I hope that their life stories can impact you like they have me.
