Prison Pen Pals

For the past few months, I've been corresponding with a friend of mine who is in prison for possession for cocaine. If anybody is reading this, please pray for her. She's supposed to get out of prison and go into rehabilitation soon. But the prison is taking it's time in helping her. She's asked me to find information about certain facilities in Georgia. I met this lady at Mt. Paran Church of God way back in 1993. I was a live-in babysitter for her baby, Jordan. I later had to leave Georgia, but I kept in contact with her. She has always led an interesting life that I've never had. She knew everyone in town, and I was drawn to her popularity. Now that she's in jail, everyone has abandoned her. The Lord laid it in my heart to contact her again after all these years. I got on the Internet and tried to find her by looking through Cobb County Jail database. I found her! And I contacted her just in time. She was so happy to hear from me. I actually left my vacation home in Ohio to drive down to Marietta to see her again. She is determined to be through with drugs because she hates the lifestyle. She is so on-fire for God and His Son, Jesus again. I guess she is trying to make up for all the time she didn't have with God all these years. She wants to start a ministry helping women in prison who have nothing.
