Mona's Miracle: A Mother's Journey to Recovery and New Life
“I truly believe that God performed a miracle on me. He turned me into the woman I am intended to be. When good things happen in my life, He’s the one I think [of]. It has nothing to do with me; it’s all God.” —Mona
Mona needed answers. She searched up and down the aisles of the prison library, combing the shelves with the help of her friend LoRay, a fellow prisoner. In matching khaki uniforms, the women scoured the shelves one by one, rummaging and rearranging, driven by their shared sense of urgency. But still, nothing.
Ready to give up, Mona turned to a shelf she was sure she’d already checked. On one pile of books lay the Inside Journal Life Recovery Bible she was seeking. It felt like an old friend had appeared out of nowhere.
Mona looked at LoRay, eyes wide.
“That’s God, baby,” said LoRay. “I need you to do this for me. I need you to really get into this and start reading your Bible and start praying, and you’ll get your answers.”
