As I sit here thinking of what to write about my mind and my spirit are in total peace. I think about where I was when God saved me. I think about the friends and family Jesus has blessed me with. I think about the ministry God has placed on my heart and the vision he has given me for The Lot Project. I think about how tough life is at times but I rejoice in the suffering this life has to give. I know my God is huge and he is over all things, he is supreme. I feel so loved by Jesus its unexplainable and I want to LOVE others like he loves me. I think about my Father who has been in Prison for many years and will soon be free. I think about my Wife who is carrying our 3rd child. I think about how she LOVES me and how blessed I am to have her. I think about my 6 year old son who is already serving Jesus and understands what Jesus did for him. I think about my Mom who has sacrificed for me so many times. I think about my best friend who loves me and my kids like we are family. I think about the fact that Jesus gave his life for all. I think about my future and I know God has got me and I know his will for my life will be fulfilled! I pray that this City, this State, and eventually this Nation will be surrendered fully to Christ. I pray that Christians will serve like we should and not question Jesus! HE IS OUR PROVIDER AND THAT'S ALL WE NEED! I LOVE YOU ALL and that was a random post but its what was on my heart and mind!

Update on Shelter!
Just going to post a short update! Today we worked in the shelter all day! We had 7 of our youth come and help clean and pour into the shelter it was AWESOME but we learned patients LOL! Folks its coming together! We are getting the floors done on Tuesday then we can start the interior building process. I'm pumped! God is moving in a mighty way, only he could do what has been done through this ministry! We are seeing life change happen EVERYDAY! We have set a goal for the shelter to be up and operating within 3 months but there is no hurry! We want it to feel like home to all who come in! We will start working out of the shelter within 3 weeks! Building relationships, counseling, therapy, and meeting needs in and around our community! We are so blown away at how big our GOD is! Please I ask you all to continue to lift us up in prayer as we continue to serve our Lord Jesus Christ! Love you all!

I believe in you
As I sit here on my couch typing this post I am Blown Away! Having a relationship with the King of Kings is so AWESOME! I pray everyday to be filled with the PASSION that Jesus was filled with. I pray to see as he See's and for my heart to be broken for the lost like his is. Folks I am so undeserving of his mercy and grace. It's been 5 years ago that I first met Jesus and I have been in AWE every since that day. I get the privilege to serve at the best church in the nation "in my opinion" and I am surrounded by the best leaders in the world. Just to think 6 years ago I was abusing drugs and alcohol. Heck I was abusing pornography as well. I was a pathetic husband and father but still my wife loved me and she never give up on me. My Saviour never give up on me either. He reached down when I could not reach up. He picked me up out of the mud and made me as white as snow. Over the past five years I have learned so much but still I am dying to learn more! The truth is I have no clue what I am doing, I just do as the lord directs me! My heart breaks for the soul out their feeling depressed and oppressed! You don't have to go through life regretting it! You have people that believe in you and Love you! Most of all God Loves you! You may have been told he is out to get you and that is a lie from the pit of hell. He created you in his image, he created you to glorify him. Listen to me and if you don't read anything else I ever write PLEASE read this Satan HATES you, he wants to destroy you and cause you more and more pain. But you don't have to listen to his lies! He is a liar! OK now that I got that out! I encourage you to read Colossians 1 15-20 and meditate on it for a while. Folks I could go on and on but I want I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE LOVED! To the Critics out there I LOVE YOU TO! I pray for all of you who don't know Christ that your eyes will be opened! I pray for the believer out there who needs encouragement and needs to know what you do does matter. Finally I will close this post with a prayer. "Father Thank You so much Amen" When is the last time you said Thank You to God? Love you guys Jason

Random Mind Racing!
I am in Awe that's all I can focus on! Street Ministry this week was so Awesome! We reached out to lots of people! It's because of people dedicating their time and money that we were able to feed the hungry, put brand new shoes on people that need them desperately, share the LOVE of JESUS with them and point them in the right direction to get cleaned up! These people are hungry folks! Hungry for HOPE...Hungry for LOVE..and Hungry for the TRUTH! JESUS has been rocking my world through Romans 10 lately as well as the book of Acts! Read Romans 10 and notice the ANYONE and EVERYONE. The believers in Acts met every need that needed to be met in their community, now that's how the current Church should be! We have more technology and more resources but still the Church is not reaching out in their communities like they need to be! I don't understand sometimes but we are not supposed to understand everything! I just know that THE LOT PROJECT through the POWER and LOVE of JESUS is going to pour into our communities until every sheep that's lost is found! We must leave the 99 to find the 1! JESUS did, so should we. This past week another name was added to the lambs book of life and that's what we are all about(LIFE CHANGE). I want to thank all of you who pour into THE LOT PROJECT. There are to many of you to list but you know who you are! This past Wednesday we were able to provide 31 high risk youth transportation to Church and today we were able to bring 17 Street Peeps to Church and that blows us away! I don't deserve any of this I deserve HELL and so do you but JESUS CHRIST died as a ransom for many"Mark 10:45" So to JESUS CHRIST be the glory! Thank You for blessing us so we can bless others. I pray this post encouraged you but challenged you. It was kind of scatter brained but my brain is still running wide open and I am still soaking all of this in! Love You and God Bless You! Love Jason Check out our new site @thelotproject.com.

Random Thoughts of EMOTION!
Well good morning to all I hope you slept well I did! As I sit here in my living room i have a ton of emotions running through my mind! I don't deserve any thing I have! But still Jesus shows mercy and grace toward me, he has made me brand new! Ministry this week was out of this world we talked to prostitutes, drug attics, drug dealers, homeless and gang members. Yeah it was full of surprises. But I must say It was a blessing to here their stories and lead some of them to Jesus! So i want to thank all of you who pray for us and donate to us, you rock theirs to many of you to list but know we LOVE you and THANK you! Yesterday @new spring church was an AWE filled sermon! Seeing people get dunked for Jesus never gets old! Also I love my Pastor Perry Noble he constantly challenges me as a leader and a man HE ROCKS! After the service yesterday I got to tour our new youth facility and oh my gosh i could not quit biting my finger nails just anticipating life change to take place their! Thank you to all who give to New Spring Church its because of you that our kids will have one of the greatest worship facilities in this nation! You know my respect grew for a man yesterday as we were told his story, I can honestly say their was no judgement in my heart toward him just love! He done what so many people will not do HE OBEYED JESUS! So I want you to know I am lifting you up in prayer at this very moment and will continue to do so! I Love You brother! I know this post has been full of random thoughts but I have one more thing! Yesterday we brought over 12 people to New Spring from a local non profit in our area and they were blown away! Thank you Jesus! This week we are looking at filling up a whole bus of folks! Oh Yeah its happening! MY GOD IS HUGE!!! Finally I want to close with one of the most beautiful scriptures in my opinion, that is in the bible! ECCLESIASTES 3 1-8 says "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven...A time to plant...A time to heal...A time to build up...A time to embrace... A time to gain...A time to speak...A time to love...A time of war, and a time of peace!" So today can you honestly say you have peace in your life through Jesus Christ? No matter your situation in life Jesus is one prayer away and HE IS MY BEST FRIEND AND FATHER(Because God disciplines his children) I Love You guys and gals!

Just Random Thoughts!
Hello! What a Beautiful Day here in Anderson, SC. I have been so busy today I had a car detail this am along with a leg workout! My exercise and diet plan are going great! My first weigh in is on Wednesday and I am very excited to see the progress I've made! Our leaders from our Church www.newspring.cc have been in Kenya for a week please lift them up in prayer as they are wanting to see God's vision for our Church in Kenya! Our church starts a new series this week named "I WANNA NEW MARRIAGE" I AM PUMPED UP! You know it's interesting how many couples have said I do and then they don't anymore! As Christians I believe our marriages should be the best on the planet filled with LOVE, SEX, SEX, AND MORE SEX! Reality is this.... not everyday will our marriages be perfect, we will argue, fight and have disagreements like everyone else! It's how we handle those disagreements between ourselves that count! We should have a Christ like view of marriage and always keep Christ front and center in our finances and our marriage! 80% of marriages end because of finance issues! I'm telling you me and my wife have been together for 8 years and putting Christ first in your finances works! If you don't believe me try tithing the 10% just for 3 months and watch what happens! God will rock your world! OK back to marriage every couple should have 1 date night a week and I don't care if you have 10 kids or 1 kid find a babysitter it works trust me! I firmly believe the reason our nation is in the shape it's in is because kids don't have family time anymore! They see mom and dad argue and fuss and they may feel its their fault sometimes! So they isolate themselves and become wrapped up in a culture that tells them SEX at 12 is OK and DRINKING and DRUGS will help you deal with life! Reality is this..... Kids lives are falling apart one by one and why NO LEADERSHIP at home that's why! So parents step up to the plate and fix what is broke! Some of you out their may need a relationship with Jesus! That would be the best step toward fixing your marriage and your relationships with your kids and family! I pray today for renewed marriages and relationships! I pray for the kids out their feeling trapped that God would show them the way to find true life! I pray dads and moms would step up to the plate and quit being PASSIVE! And finally I pray that if the very person reading this needs JESUS in their life they would ask him into their lives! Pray= Dear Lord JESUS I want you in my life, I know I'm a sinner and I need your forgiveness, I believe you died on the cross and rose from the grave, come into my life and take complete control, I give you everything JESUS Amen! If you prayed that prayer you made the best decision you will ever make, now find a church that will love you and that teaches the word of God1 I pray you grow in the knowledge of Christ! It will not be easy in fact it will be harder now than ever! But remember Christ lives in you and you are his child! He takes care of his children! Father thank you I ask all things in the name of JESUS AMEN!

"Life is like a box of chocolate you never know what your going to get so don't be surprised and eat it anyway" Life is very hard at times but Jesus is Lord of Lords! I hope everyone has a blessed day and remember ONE LOVE, ONE GOD, ONE WAY that's the bottom line cause Jesus said so!!! John 14:6 God Bless You! Love Jason
