“I was running from God because I was just scared of Him seeing what I was doing. I learned that God was not only waiting for me but running towards me.” —Kellie
How did this happen to me? How did my life go from being a little girl, playing with my sisters, having great parents, being a nurse with a family … to being in prison?
It seemed like my life was really good—but I was missing something. I was constantly searching for something to fill the void I felt.
I lied to my husband that I had to work late, when I was just drinking and partying. At one party, a tray was passed around with lines of cocaine on it.
When I saw it coming my way, my mind was racing:
Is this cocaine? Am I going to do this? What is going on? Am I going to do drugs right now?
Before I could talk myself out of it, I did it. Immediately I felt like I had arrived. This is the answer. This is filling that emptiness that I feel.
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
