Bad Choices In Criminal Justice
COPPINGER SESSION 1 JOURNAL
I have made a lot of bad choices in my life some of them I am still paying for. That was who I was not who I am. The Lord has healed me and taken away many shackles.
One of the memories of the start of my life changing was sitting in the
Criminal Justice Center here in Colorado Springs in 2005. I knew scripture thou
I did not know Jesus. Let alone have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Sitting in lone of them women’s wards I recall sitting at a couple of the women’s doors and reading scripture. These ladies where in 23-hour lockdown and had severe mental instability. One day as I was doing this the Lords lamp went on inside me,
Since childhood as far back as I can remember, I had wanted to be
Loved, wanted, and
needed. When that lamp came on that still small voice whispered you are loved, wanted and needed if by no one else but I. I knew at that moment that the Lord has given me the desires of my heart, and my life was going to change.
Today looking back it was the beginning of my walk with Christ. I slowly started to stop straddling the fence. Unfortunately today there is still things
that I do not immediately give over to the Lord, and still take things back. I believe I do not hang on as hard or as much as I use too.
The Lord has shown me bits and pieces of how He has prepared me for today, even way before 2005. The warnings He has given me that I chose to ignore, Through all the trials and storms I was being lead and carried through, It started with the unconditional LOVE of the LORDS, who provided me with the desires of my heart to be loved , wanted and needed by the only TRUE
MASTER.
