Happy Thanksgiving

I have much to be thankful for this year; it is hard to find a starting point. I am going to rand my top five things that I am most thankful for.

1. Courtney. She continues to amaze me with her abilities as a mom. She runs our house with an incredible mix of love and discipline. I can't imagine doing life without her. She balances me so well. She brings a different perspective to all my circumstances. She is a great listener. Above all, she is my sweetheart. I am more in love with her than ever.
2. Carson & Cameron. It is a circus at our house around six every night. I love it. Cameron is finding her personality and letting everyone know it. She has such a sweet heart. Carson is a wild woman. She is climbing everything, playing chase, hide-and-go seek, and imitating everything Courtney and I do. I never believed that I could love a person as much as I love my two little girls. I love tripping over their toys!
3. Family. I can't tell you how much everyone has meant to us this year. Having two children so close together is tough. We couldn't have done it without the help of our families. They have been so supportive. From Aunts and Uncles to my brothers and Courtney's sister, we could not have made it through this year without them. The main help has come from Gammy, Pops, Grandma, and Grandpa. I think they are enjoying their new roles in life. I am sure that Christmas is going to be over the top.
4. Friends. There have been a couple of people this year who have continued to be there for me. When I am happy, they share the joys. When I am down, they are there for me to vent. God continues to put people in my life who are walking with me along this journey of life. I am excited about where it is going.
5. Rock Creek. This past year, I stopped being the "new guy" and got to be, Jason. I can't believe how close I have grown to the students and life group leaders in such a short time. It has been exciting each step of the way. I am excited about where we are headed. The opportunity to dream has no limit and I have been encouraged to chase all those dreams down. God's will and purpose for my life is becoming clearer each day and I am finding myself more and more satisfied in my gifts.

I could go on for a while. I really have so much to be thankful for. Well I have to go...one of those girls I am thankful for would really be thankful for a bottle right now.

Happy Thanksgiving!
