Ok it's been a minute since I wrote in here so I guess I have a little catching up to do. I should have kept, so I'll just give the big picture.
Well big things just keep on happening and it's all God.. so huge, so evident, so awesome, so God.
I re-connected with my mom recently, and we spent a day together. We went down to City Gospel Mission together and it was just awesome. Such a blessing. We got along great, are still both a bit hard headed, and I still think I'm right most of the time. I'm learning acceptance.. I thnk we both are to some degree, though I do believe she should do things MY way lol. My perception of life is correct, yes? Well, maybe.. maybe not.. maybe a little bit of both.
City Gospel Mission blesses ME so much each week. I continue to get gratitude, to remember where I came from, how much worse it could have been, how far God has brought me, as I also get to see God through the people there that we serve... I may have become wealthier when it comes to material possesions and what not recently... but I still see people there that have true smiles and make me feel that maybe I'm missing the bigger picture when I get wrapped up with what shoes I want to buy next or get too into my iphone... I need to stop, step back, and just appreciate the people around me, the community I have, the love I get to experience week in and week out.. my job, my friends, the relationship which is growing with my mom, what God has for me in the days, weeks, and months ahead... there are a lot of things which I already take for granted.. and it wasn't that long ago that I had none of these things.. reality check Jason.
My cousin is on his way down to see me as we speak. We haven't spoken in like two years.. long story there that woud not be beneficial to get into, but yes it's anothe miracle. I'm so excited to see him. I love my cuzzo.
My job.. love it. Not making much money AT ALL, but that's ok. I'm happy. I'm not running the show for once, I have a boss that I truly ahve to submit to and just do what he says... there is freedom in that, SOMEHOW. It's great.. love the clients, my co-workers, boss, everything.. it's just great.
Getting ready to start in a new smallgroup on Sunday evenings that I'm super excited about.. I'll get back more on that later.
Just got out of Prospect House.. a treatment facility which I had to go through because of a horrible choice I made like three years ago... I got out WAY early. They told me this past monday to pack my stuff and be out Tuesday morning.. totally unexpected. Life is good. I go to court next Thursday and it looks as if all probation/charges will be terminated. Never have to go to jail again, never have hand-cuffs on again, never call a probation officer again or piss in a cup again.. never need to use a drug, ever, ever again. New chance, fresh start.. eyes wide open.
Peace.

Good stuff man. I know that it's hard to appreciate what you have unless you put yourself in someone Else's shoes. Speaking of shoes, I too struggle with which pair I would like to think that I "need" next. Like the ten pair that I have isn't enough already. Keep holding on to Jesus man. It's going to be a wild ride.
Jason, you are awesome! Love you, brother!
