The Lovelady Center

I was a resident at the Lovelady back in 2007-08. It was part of my transitional sentence into society from incarceration in Alabama Department of Corrections. I wasn't open to Jesus Christ as my Healer. I was not open to changing much of my life style that got me in prison in the first place, but I listened. And I prayed although I didn't know exactly why or what I was praying for. The hard truth about most recovery centers, is you will only get out of it what you put into it. Regardless of favoritism, regardless of anything outside ourselves, our willingness to change despite these obstacles is a direct reflection of our character. Seeds were planted. And years later, I gave my life to Christ and have rehabilitated my hangups through the Celebrate Recovery Program. None of this could've occurred without the love I received at Lovelady Ministries. Thank you, Lord for the services provided at Lovelady. And for the prayer I know I received after I graduated the program. It is ironic when we complain about the favoritism certain clients may or may not receive at the Lovelady, but we didn't complain when the dealer favored a client over another. And we sure didn't mind the rats and pests in the trap house or the bars we frequented in our active addiction lifestyle. I will pray for those who are blinded by the scales over their eyes that they may see, character is built in perseverance and dedication to Christ. Not the Center, not the people in the center. Remove all distractions and God provided a home and ministry in this facility. And that, my friend is what we all need to tap in to.
