This is Thought

This is thought.

If I could sing I would sing my troubles away, but the thing is, I can't, so I write because I got to let people know where God has brought me from, whichever way I do it.

Why me? Everyday I ask God why me, then I remember these words: “should Christ carry the cross and the whole world go free” so I STOP wallowing in self pity/ questioning God.

What is Love?

Love is an unknown mystical power that intoxicates, quavers, and fascinates an individual who encounters with it.

Love is a thunderstruck word, it carries a deep warm current that absorb and quake the human enthusiasm.

Love does not bring you blues, however it only makes you feel content with pleasure, gentleness and harmony.

Love edifies the character, stimulates the mind, will, emotion, heart, and soul; explores your fantasy, and appearance: body language, eyes, walk, talk, and dress code.

Thank God You are Healed

(Editor's Note: The following letter was one of several written by inmates after a woman called in to Kevin's program, “Unchained”, with the story of her rape and subsequent grief and healing. We do not know who her rapist is.)

Thank God you are healed again
Thank God you are clean again
Thank God you are not thinking mean again
Thank God you are the essence of forgiveness
Thank God you are no more a slave to unforgiveness
Thank God you have found it in your heart
to forgive the man who violated your body,
the man who bruised your soul and almost
destroyed your mind.
Thank God your forgiveness towards a man
who was possessed
has started your healing process
In my book you are a princess. Continue reading

Don’t Give Up

DON'T GIVE UP The phone is ringing, bad news keeps coming but don't give up.

Life is pressing! Stress keeps coming, you feel frustrated but don't give up you can make it.

When discouragement comes. You feel like letting go but don't give up my friend you can make it .

Just trust God let him do it.

DON'T GIVE UP!

My Thoughts

I thought that being in prison would be tough, that all the love and strength I have wouldn't be enough to get me through this trying time, but to be honest. I'm doing just fine.

If I could go back and change what I've done, I wouldn't be me and I wouldn't be strong. This place has made me see what a bright future there is in store for me. It has made me appreciate my family and friends. I have learn to forgive and made amends. We all lose our way in life, we all at times suffer pain and strife; but it's not how you fall that counts it's how you get up. People may never come to prison and change their ways; sometimes their freedom is worst than their incarcerated days. I'd rather be here and know my spirit is free than be outside with the devil in me. So when you think of me being locked up in here; smile to yourself and give me a cheer because you'll know that I'll be okay for as sure as the sun lets off it's rays, I will be home one day.

“Life is just a bowl of cherries”

You might be wondering what am I talking about. Life is just a bowl of cherries. To be very honest with you the thought came to me when I ended up in prison. I honestly thought my life was over, knowing I got 10 years at the age of 19. My mind was so jumbled I just don't know what to do knowing I was sent to prison innocently; but after UNDERSTANDING what life is all about, I came to the conclusion that “life is just a bowl of cherries.”

The Mind

There is a powerful force that lives within our mind. It is like the roar of rushing waters and peals of thunder! It whispers like the cool wind. It lets us imagine good or evil things. But what place does imagination have in the plan and design of things, if it is liable to mislead ones thinking. Still it is the stimulator of our thoughts and the activator of the creative power within. The mind gives us the courage to cry tenderly for joy and healing, makes us human enough to make mistakes, sincere enough to admit them, strong enough to solve them, flexible enough to grasp the tangle.

A Mother’s Gift

To my baby Wayne aka Singy Singy from District Prison: There is a curve called girlfriends, red lights called enemies, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family. You will have flats called jobs but if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith and a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called success.

To my daughter, my love, life and heartbeat. This is a special gift that you can never see, the reason it's so special is; It's just for you Shannon, from me. Whenever you are happy or even feeling blue. You only have to feel this gift and know I think of you. You can never unwrap it, please leave this ribbon tied. Just hold it close to your heart it's filled with love inside.

From Dana @ Fort Augusta.
