But who’s to say God isn’t still putting blessings in my path?

 

I’ve been through a lot and am still learning as life goes on. My family left me because of the bad drug addiction I had. But now, at my age, that has come to an end. I want more in life and see myself changing things every day that I couldn’t in the past. But who’s to say God isn’t still putting blessings in my path? I’m the father of two growing boys. I’ve been doing my time in prison day by day, praying to God to see another day. However, with 24 months left, I don’t have any support to get the help I need to attain a job and become a more productive person on the outside. I don’t have any friends or family to call or email for anything.
