I get so caught up in my teaching sometimes I take my safety for granted. It would only take a moment for things to go terribly wrong for me there.
An inmate shared counsel with me this morning about my safety. How he observed my behavior when a male staff member approaches me and how it made him concerned. I hadn’t even realized that I back up every time this man gets close to me, until this lifer pointed it out. Wow.
Then a Sergeant on security staff alerted me to his concern for my safety today due to that VERY same staff members lack of security measures. That he is angry because that persons actions are putting me in jeopardy. He was absolutely right, and I had not even realized it.
When I left work, I prayed so hard with a heart full of thankful gratitude about the angels the Lord places around me to keep me safe inside that prison. I am sure they are there in such mass numbers and to such an extreme degree I could never even imagine them all. However, I know without any doubt in the universe they are there. Loving me, lifting me up, and keeping me safe so God’s work can be done.
