I wanted to kill myself while in jail. My life was messed up. I lost my kids, was addicted to meth, and I was very alone. One night, out of nowhere, I prayed to God and asked Him to either help me with my life and give me a sign or help me kill myself.
The very next day, I broke down and had a riot in my range. They transferred me to a new prison, where I was put in a cell on suicide watch. All that was in the cell to read was a Salvation Army booklet. It opened my heart to God. What I read was what I was looking for: love and happiness.
I asked the chaplain for a Bible, and I started doing Bible studies. I learned a lot from them all. They’ve been helping me ever since.
My life’s been better since Jesus came into it. I don’t feel alone – I feel loved! I have trouble reading the Bible every day, but I read all the Manga books over and over again and have learned a lot.
I’ve turned my life right around and I love it. After I’m done all the courses, I’m thinking of becoming a chaplain.
