Quotes

"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson

Mama's in prison

They enter with hard hearts, callous from life’s twisted fate.
Rough and tough,
Their destiny, four bare cement walls and confinement.
Separated from their addictions and family,
They have time to think, to wrestle with themselves, to fight with God.
Who will they turn to? A seemingly hopeless state.

Then enter two unknown, non-criminal women. They come to bring hope. They come to give. They come to love. They come without fear.
They wash feet and give pedicures, teach Bible studies, lead worship and pray.
Hearts humbled. Tears fall. Walls broken. Lives restored. Hope renewed.
The battle hasn’t been won but the women are better, stronger, ready for a new life on the outside.
Jesus becomes real. He gives life. Victory is seen in the near distant future.

My mama’s in prison....giving pedicures, washing feet, teaching Bible studies, leading worship, praying. All for Jesus.
