I received an email in response to my latest blog that I wanted to publish, with her permission of course. She is a client that has graduated our program, and has been an excellent role model for women releasing from prison here in our area. I know that you will enjoy it, and I pay that this testimony will stir a conversation between you and God in that place where only He can. 
I really enjoyed reading your latest blog “Freedom is not Free” and I really related to the inmates that you visit once a week. I really identified with one inmate I met at LCIW named Audrey. Audrey is serving a life sentence and despite that, she faces each day with a smile and the most positive attitude that I have seen. I often wondered–how could a woman who would most surely never step foot outside of the prison alive could have such a positive aura coming from her and the perpetual smile upon her face. During my incarceration, I was like a lot of the men you meet–angry, bitter and focusing on the ones that did me wrong.
I finally sat down with Audrey and asked her just how could she have such a positive attitude while facing a life sentence. It was then that Audrey sat me down and asked me if I knew Jesus Christ and had accepted him as my eternal salvation–which I had not. She said that Jesus gets all the credit for the person she is today. He allows her to be happy and free, despite being confined behind the walls of prison. She prayed with me, told me God loved me and the God had great plans for me once I finished my journey behind the walls of LCIW. After some great thought, I realized that I wanted the ‘freedom’ that Audrey experiences and decided to give her way a try. And we all know how that turned out.
I need to write Audrey thanking her for ministering to me in my time of need and to let her know the miraculous things that Jesus has done for me since I left LCIW. I know that it is possible to be ‘free’ even though you are literally confined behind the walls of prison.
that’s good stuff right there.
