Two Life’s, One Fight

06/02/2026

“You’re Not a Person, You’re an Inmate.”

Those were the words a correctional officer spoke to my husband.

Think about that for a moment.

Not a father. Not a son. Not a brother. Not a friend. Not a human being.

Just an inmate.

No matter where someone lives, what mistakes they have made, or what sentence they are serving, they are still human. They still laugh, cry, love, hope, dream, and hurt. A prison sentence takes away a person’s freedom—it should never take away their humanity.

The problem with labels is that they make it easier to forget the person behind them. When we stop seeing people as human beings, we stop seeing their growth, their struggles, their families, and their worth.

My husband is incarcerated, but he is still a person. He is still someone who writes letters, loves his family, worries about those he cares about, and works every day to become a better man.

Human dignity should not depend on a person’s address.

Whether someone is in prison or living next door, every human being deserves to be treated with basic respect.

Because at the end of the day, an inmate is still a person.

And no one should ever be told otherwise

God says, "Don't forget Me when I bless you with what you prayed for."

The relief washing over you.
Finally breathing after holding it so long.
Dreams materializing in your hands.
The temptation to exhale and move on.

There's something so human about how we pray with desperation and then celebrate with amnesia. When we're in the valley, every prayer feels urgent, every plea carved from our bones. We promise anything, remember everything, cling to faith like our lifeline.

Then the breakthrough comes. The job. The healing. The reconciliation. The miracle we begged for arrives, and suddenly our phone calls to heaven get shorter. Our gratitude gets quieter. Not because we're ungrateful, but because relief has a way of making us feel self-sufficient again.

But God isn't keeping score to punish you for your humanness. He's reminding you because staying connected in the good times isn't just about gratitude—it's about staying anchored to the Source of every good thing. When we remember Him in our abundance, we remember who we really are. We remember that every blessing is an invitation deeper into relationship, not a graduation from needing Him.

You may see your answered prayers as the end of the story.
He sees them as love letters, drawing you closer.

You may see your breakthrough as your achievement.
He sees it as His faithfulness on display through you.

You may see your blessing as permission to walk alone.
He sees it as an invitation to walk together.

God says, "Don't forget Me when I bless you with what you prayed for."

Because He never forgot you when you had nothing to offer.
Because every blessing is a love letter with His name on it.
Because the best part isn't what He gives—it's that He gives it to you.

To the women holding everything together while fighting for someone they love… don’t forget about yourself.

We get so caught up in phone calls, visits, paperwork, bills, hospital trips, court dates, and carrying everyone else’s pain that we forget we matter too. We pour so much into the people we love that sometimes we leave nothing for ourselves.

But the truth is — we cannot keep being strong for everyone else if we are running on empty.
Taking care of yourself is not selfish.
Resting is not weakness.
Smiling, healing, and finding peace in the middle of chaos does not mean you love them any less.

You are the backbone of someone else’s survival.
And without you being okay, everything starts to fall apart.

So please… eat the meal, take the break, go to the doctor, get some sleep, laugh when you can, and remember you deserve love and care too.

To every woman fighting for a husband, son, brother, or loved one behind those walls — I see your strength.
But don’t lose yourself while trying to save someone else

For 34 years, he has lived behind prison walls because of an injustice. Every single day, he wakes up and fights a battle most people will never understand. A battle to keep hope alive. A battle to keep pushing forward while the world continues moving without him. A battle to prove that his life still matters and that he deserves the chance to come home.

People see the sentence, but they don’t see the man behind it. They don’t see the years lost, the emotional weight, the strength it takes to survive day after day inside a place designed to break people. And through it all, he is still fighting for his freedom.

And while he fights that battle on the inside, we fight one on the outside.

Life doesn’t stop because someone you love is incarcerated. We are still working, raising kids, dealing with medical issues, traveling back and forth for hospital visits, doctor appointments, surgeries, prison visits, school events, baseball games, graduation parties, and trying to hold everything together while carrying the pain of missing someone every single day.

People are quick to judge relationships like ours, but this goes beyond prison walls. This is loyalty. This is family. This is standing beside someone through the hardest moments life can throw at you.

Two completely different worlds somehow meeting in the middle every single day — his from the inside and ours from the outside — and together we continue fighting for the same thing:

Freedom.
Justice.
And the chance to finally live life together
