A week later we went to court, it turns out the person that was the guardian of Mark and Jane was a businessman in high class. His name was William Blaze; he has his business in the next town over. He spoke about how his children had left home early that morning I had 'beat up his daughter' and how they had been rebellious but would never do something as horrible as stealing a car.

I think because he so well known is the reason why I never stood a chance.  No matter how hard my mother, who is a lawyer, tried to defend my case it didn't help. It just goes to show that the world is biased, well at least the judge in the town I live in or should I say used to live in. Well, I technically still live here; I will just be calling this jail cell my home for the next six months.

I guess I could be happy that my punishment for something I didn't do is short. When I get out whether I did it or not like I said people are bias and most people after looking at my record if they see I went to jail or abuse I might not get that job. I used to like watching the criminal show where people who are put in jail for things they didn't do and at the end of the show normally the truth is out. Sometimes before the person's sentence is done but normally after they have been released.

I have been in jail for about 3 months now and for the first couple weeks, I was thinking about ways to get revenge on the Blaze family for putting me in jail. By tracking them down and getting the kids put in jail or even getting dirt on The Blaze Company and getting it to go down in a 'Blaze'. I am halfway through with my sentence and I am still planning out my revenge.

It has been five months and thirty days since I was put in jail. The day all this happened was June 15th when it happened I was in court June 22nd, and then sent to jail on June 30th, 2015.

I am getting out tomorrow on December 31st which is a Thursday. Like I said before in the first half of being in jail I was thinking about revenge and all things bad I could do to them. Now all I'm thinking is about how after I get out I'm going to find them and thank them.

I was slipping away from my faith with God and since I have been in jail I prayed three to five times a day and have just talked with God about everything that has been going on. I have been praying for Mark and Jane to become the people God wanted them to be. When I see them I will thank them for giving me the opportunity to be closer to God.

I kind of wish it hadn't taken me going to go to jail to finally realize my purpose. I had been studying to be a lawyer like my mother, but while I was in jail and praying with God every day I heard God call to me what I need to do when I get out. I was called to become a detective, with the compassion, wisdom, and lawfulness of the Lord with me I can make the world a better place. I would not be biased and treat everyone with the respect and judgment that is needed to be shown when solving a case.

I got out yesterday, my mother was a walking crying machine, she was so happy I was out and so was I. In the next week I thanked the Blaze family and told my mother about my change of heart concerning my degree. My mother understood, but my father was overjoyed about how I came to realized what I was born to do.

My father is the pianists at our church and is a very religious (Catholic to be exact) person. When I had gone and thanked the Blaze family they were very confused on what I was saying. William Blaze was very apologetic to me, apparently after I had been in jail for 4 months the guilt had eaten up Mark and Jane and they both confessed to their dad that what they had said was not true and the reason he didn't tell the police was because a week after I had been put in jail they had gone to Australia to visit their mother.

Turns out their mother lives in Australia with her parents because her parents are near death. They had just gotten back two days ago and were planning on finding out where I live in order to apologize for all the hurt they caused my family. I told them that now I have found my path with God that I would pray for their grandparents personally even though for the past 3 months I had been praying for their family. They didn't understand why I would pray for them but they didn't question it.

Over the past three years, I have gotten to know the Blaze family and the kids have completely turned their life around. Their grandparents lived a whole year longer than expected but died two years ago.

It was December 31st, 2015 when I got out of jail and my 20th birthday which was on January 12th, 2016 my parents gave me the one gift I wanted. They forgave the Blaze children for what happened. A year later on March 4th, 2017 it was Jane's sweet 16, I was so happy for her I had gotten really close with the Blaze family and even though they were the reason I was put in jail I still forgave them.

Like Jesus said 'If someone hits you, you turn the other check forgiveness is always the answer. On Jane's 16th birthday Mark asked me out on a date. Then a year later on May 26th, 2018 Mark and I got married.

I think the lesson in the story of my life is no matter what hardships you endure if you forgive and believe in God as the one and only God happiness are in your future. I was lucky that my happiness came when I was still living on earth. For some of you, your happiness may not come until you die and are living with God in his kingdom.
