Thank you God and Mary for a most valuable anyone could every receive! Here is my Bible study I did, song and handout I give the ladies. I have up enjoy. (my notes include) Merry Christmas to you all! May we count our many blessing and love around us.

This Bible lesson is one I made for the ladies in jail to help them be part of the preparations that they would do with their families. To explain a little when I went to visit them. Being at our local jail, non of the people that were in jail could not go outside at all. They only has small windows (6"x 1') in their room. Which was extra small, 1 roommate, unless they the jail was over booked. Then 1 other person would be added to the room which she slept in a sled (I would call it). That is all that would fit in the room. So being out with the other ladies was nice. Yes was up and down time. But it wasn't the same as their own family members. On a occasion, I would have a mother & daughter or sisters or aunts. At the begin before we would start, the I asked the ladies to write down any prayer request, then we would pray and start the lesson. When I made this Bible study it was fun to image themselves doing different things with their family and digging into God's word to feed them at that moment in time. Teaching them where their they would get their supplies (the land, not just the grocery store) and how God provides their every need, big or small. As they were doing their Bible verses, they drew a picture as well. When everyone was done, we came together and the group portion to the table to share with everyone. After every group placed their portions on the table, we gave thanks by sharing what they are thankful and gave God the glory what He had done in their life and family. I hope you enjoy this Bible study and have fun with it too. I thought this would give you time to work on it before next week. I know I have been blessed every time I went to share about Jesus. I get so excited. If you need help with it, just ask. I will send a picture next week. I can't wait to see what you share after you finish it. May God bless you all!

I would like to share my 1st Bible study that God and I made together, on the 1st night that I shared with the ladies in jail. Yes, you heard me, jail. Let me tell you about this journey of training. I will try to make it short and sweet. Most trainings are not easy, they can be very hard. My training started when I was 16 years old, not in a relationship with God. I knew of Him but not in a personal relationship with Him. I got pregnant, I wanted to keep but my parents said no, so I had abortion. I was 19 yrs young, got married (to an abuser in every aspect of the word which I didn't know) God told me visit a Montana State Prison (tour place). I went (not knowing that He put this drive in me), I have to say, it was scary but interesting. After that, I escape my marriage with no kids (blessing). As time went by, I married my high school sweat heart. We were blessed with a smart son. Things where shifting in the wrong direction again, he lied about his drinking problem (the reason I broke up in high school). I finally had enough (in & out of safe house, parties I didn't like.....went to counseling) and took our son and left to take care of him. Within those 10 days, he committed suicide. I must have been an open target to men. Men wanted to be friends with me. I dated a few which turned out badly (drugs, lost my money which once again God protected me). I have to say that my son grounded me with the serenity prayer that I learned in Al-Anon and working with a great boss (she became my son's aunt). After time past, I found my current husband and we are blessed with a beautiful daughter. We started to attend a local church and I learn and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savor at the age of 31. Then we moved to the area we are now, the church we chose, the pastor's son and daughter and our son was in Bible college together along. About a year at that church. The pastor asked me if I would help with Jail ministry. I and the other lady prayed and God confirmed with the ladies in jail. God and I made a way to tell me if I on the right track. He would confirm it with the ladies saying something that God and I only knew. That journey lasted for 13 years. While doing jail ministry at our local jail, I was lead to a organization to minister to ladies about the USA (correspondence with). Then I had another organization that ask to do the same thing but in Colorado. which I'm still with today.
