Get Your Issues 8/15/09
We all got some “issues” I got issues…you got issues…even the preacher has issues. Jesus said “In this world you will have trouble.” Not “if” you have trouble…he said ” you will have trouble.” Being enclosed in this one room 24 hours a day with other women has taught me a lot about “issues.” Mine and everybody elses.
I am usually...

Patience is a Great Virtue 8-12-09
Isaiah 49:4 “I have labored to no purpose, I have spent my strength in vain and for no other. Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand, and my reward is with my God.”
I figured it out last night…I have not doubted God at all since I got sentenced. I know God can do anything. If He wanted to release me He would have. I think it mostly makes me doubt myself. What I did I do...

Strong Woman vs Woman of Strength 8-10-09
A Strong Woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape…But a Woman of Strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.
A Strong Woman isn’t afraid of anything…But a Woman of Strength shows courage in the midst of her fears.
A Strong Woman won’t let anyone get the best of her…But a Woman of Strength gives the best of herself to everyone.
A Strong Woman makes mistakes and...

Homesick For My Family 7-15-09
I received the letters of recommendation that my family wrote for my judge. They made me cry…something I have been doing a lot of lately. And of course… how appropriate that the song that just came on the radio is: ”I’ve never been more home sick now… So hold on to Jesus with all that I am so I will see you again…Lord give me the strength to make it through somehow…I’ve...

Update From Lisa
Hello Readers,
I was released in January and a lothas happened to me. I walked out of jail as a free woman. When I opened the front door and took a good look the free world wasn’t the same. Everything was different. The sky was clear and I didn’t hear anything. I felt scared and alone. Then, I saw my father. He hugged me and we walked to his truck. On our way back to Lafayette he...

Hey Everybody. Sorry I haven’t been writing much lately. My life is very boring. Everyday is the same routine with the same people. As a matter of fact right now I am sitting outside watching these ants. I never noticed that when they walk in a straight line, there are some ants coming and some going. And each ant runs into each ant along the way. It almost looks as if they are stopping to greet...

The Devil Stopped By Today 6-26-09
The devil stopped by for a visit this morning. It was horrible! First, there is my bunkee…making fun of the new girl. She was saying how ugly she was-actually she was shouting across the dorm how ugly she was. Then she went on to say how her little 3 year old even knows how to say “She’s ugly mama.” Wow!! That’s bad when you teach your children how to call someone ugly!
Then...
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.
