I was saved setting in the Rankin County Jail over three years ago. God started working in my life and hasn't stopped since. It was thanksgiving and the jail was allowing families of the inmates to bring store bought food up there for each pod. Our pod ended up having subway, meat trays veggie trays, over 30 drinks and bags of chips. We had enough food for days. I had been praying and praying to h
ear God's voice like the women who came to worship with us. Well God spoke to me that thanksgiving day. He told me do not eat the food. You see food among other things has always been an addiction to me. I tried arguing with God and when he wouldn't listen to reason well i ignored him. I ate and I got sick. I was pretty quiet for the next few days wondering if he would speak to me again since I had disobeyed Him. the very 1st time He spoke to me at that. I prayed and said I was sorry and begged Him to speak to me again. That Tuesday after thanksgiving I received a card from my mother saying that they didn't have thanksgiving dinner that year cause they just didn't have the money. I felt so ashamed! God knew my family was struggling and He knew if I ate I would have more than they did. From that moment on i chose to follow God. I got the idea to start Convicted but Redeemed sitting in that same jail. We had several women come to worship with us and they would get so excited to bring us the word. So I prayed and God told me He wanted to use me to do the same thing except he wanted to use me thru social media. It would be almost three years of falling, picking myself up again, praying, crying, determination, till i was finally able to do what God wanted me to do. He knew three years ago I was not ready though, I did not think I would be able to follow thru but He has me by my hand leading me thru all of this.
