Life Of Jason

Time does fly…it seems like yesterday Amy & I were getting back together and now it’s been almost a year later and the wedding is only 32 days out.

I have to share something God has done in my life. Those of you reading this who have a problem with Christians talking about God and their faith, I’d suggest you stop reading now and visit the blog again when something else gets posted.

I, like so many of you, is in a situation where financial times are tough. As we were planning things for the wedding, I had won a certificate from a local sports radio show for a suit shop in town. Well, $20 off something at their store really doesn’t help you much at all. It barely covered the cost for a tie. So my fiancee and I had pretty much just tossed aside the certificate and thought I would find a good used suit at one of the thrift shops in town.

We had friends of ours who have been praying for us and our upcoming wedding. Out of nowhere, one of these people contacted me and said they felt the Lord telling them to send us a certain amount of money for me to have a new suit for my new life with Amy. I didn’t ask for it nor would I have asked anyone for money for that. My first instinct in those situations is to say no, thank you…but we had been praying about it and I’ve learned not to deny someone the chance to bless us if they feel led to do so.

So I get the check in the mail…$160.

Sunday we get the newspaper. The large amount of flyers fall out. One is for a sale at JC Penney’s.

Suits are on sale.

Regular price: $375.

Sale price: $159.99.

I know some do not believe in God but when I experience something like this I have no choice but to look up and say “thank you.”

So now I will start my new life in a new suit where I’m going to be channeling my inner Johnny Cash.

So, thank you God and thank you again to the person who sent me that blessing. (They’ve asked me not to post their name.)
