Inmate Testimony
I’ve been in and out of prison my whole life. I was a heavy drug user for many years. I grew up in that environment and chose to live it. “There’s a way that seems right to a man, but the end is death.” I was playing with death, lost my life 3 times through drug overdose. I thought I knew what I was doing, that I didn’t need help. I was hurting my family as well as myself. Thank You Lord for a praying mother and father. That helped me escape the destructive path I was on. The Lord reached out His hand & said it’s time to go son. My life is in His hands. I’m blessed to be a part of the TLC program. It’s changing my life. God’s given me another chance.
Jer 29:11 DG
