The Victory
Have you ever been in a bad
situation in which you saw no way
out & something wonderful hap-
pened ...that you knew was so far
from what anyone could do for
you & you didn’t know why, or how
to explain or define it but it was
something that you would remem-
ber forever? God is like that...He
will meet you where you are be-
cause He has purpose in your
life. Regardless...he says, “I know
the plans that I have for you...they
are for your good & not for your
harm” Rhetorician

2. The Trial...
Prison saved my life though I don’t think that is what
the jury had in mind when they handed down a guilty
verdict for “manslaughter” & sentenced me to 30
years in prison. Looking back in retrospect , I could
not then imagine that I would survive & never thought
I would live to see 50. It was in prison that I read my
first book, there I was taught to use a dictionary and
met many better people than I had ever met during
the first twenty years of my life or at least as many
good that I can still remember. It was a cold Rainey
evening when I arrived at the McAlester Women's
Prison behind the Wall. In Blind ignorance, the day I
was driven through those gates I forgot about the
free world. it was as if something possessing my real-
ity, took & locked away of my mind, & emotions that
helped me to survive. After all until then, I had no
goals, no directions & a great amount of time to
think. There was a plan being executed by some-
thing greater than what I understood.
The Test...
So, despite the years that were gone, I had made it.
And when I met my children father, who promised me
a life of wedded bliss, I said , Yes! I had Two chil-
dren while still in custody at a work release, due to an
unforeseen change in regulations that took my pa-
role for a couple of years. When my marriage did not
work, I encountered problems in acquiring gainful
employment due to my lack of skills. Since I had dis-
covered some intelligence in myself...I enrolled in a
small private College and earned an Associate degree
with Honors. Only to be told that I lacked experience.
This was not the success I had planned for & my life
was difficult to say the least. I had to depend on pub-
lic assistance and by that time had five sons. Land-
lords were reluctant to rent to me due to my number
of children so, we lived as best we could, often mov-
ing with little to no furniture & no acceptable ward-
robe. We were a social mess...having no form of
moral support...What was that thing that brought us
through and still gave us love, hope & joy ?
I never thought much about my life despite I had
survived molestation that started at a tender age
of 4. I became comfortable believing it was my
lot in life, since sex was often perpetrated by
neighbors & friends of family members. And de-
spite an unsuccessful attempt to end my life at
11, I continued my silent cry for help through mis-
behavior and multiple events of running away.
So Why is it, that we don’t questioned the cause
of delusions with reality in youth being so quick to
label them rebellious or delinquent? Was I a pro-
miscuous young girl who lacked any morals or
training. By the time I was 13, I had been in sev-
eral institution and in more foster homes than I
care to recall. It was not a surprise that I ended
up a ward of the court and was emancipated at
the age of 14, after I became pregnant by my first
husband who was well in his twenties?
Who was really responsible for my plight was it
the respected ministers who secretly laid me in
their beds, or the teachers who ravished my
youthful body,. Or was it really my own fault for
willingly giving in to their pleasure, perhaps it in
clocked into my DNA; being a trick baby of a
young prostitute? And, Had my fourth mother,
added to my delusions -by her silence due to reli-
gious convictions & did I really have any other
alternative…Something greater was at work.
The Mess Well, I made it pass 50! I have Grandchil-
dren & great grand's...a blessing I could have
never imagined. I survived all of my mistakes &
despite one may argue value in one experiencing
so much, I would say...my victory doesn’t come
so much in what I have achieved as it comes
from what God has allowed me to survive. My
expertise comes from experience and I am fully
aware of that “something” that was at work in
my life was the love of God ...not because I was
special but because “God is such a loving crea-
tor who wants to lavish His love on us all” ...no
matter who we are, what we’ve done or how we
may look , think or feel. My message is simply
one of hope... if God has blessed you with life, He
has the blueprint for your purpose. He’s a great
God, He see’s thru the mask, & nothing can
separate you from His love.
