Dinner with Dad

Today was the first time in over six years that I sat down with my dad and had an actual conversation. It was awesome. God has truely been working in my life here lately, or this wouldn't have been possible. Usually he starts getting mad at me for something and I totally shut him out. Not today. I have decided to let God take complete control of my life, and decided that if he started acting the way he usually does, that I would accept him and love him anyways. Its amazing how much I have missed him. I have tried to convince myself over the last 15 years that I didnt need him, that I could make it on my own. I had God to lean on as a heavenly Father. I was right in a sense. I do have God to lean on, but there is also nothing like just having a simple conversation with your earthly father. Today made me realize that I am not as grown as I thought I was, but I don't think you are ever to grown to want and need to spend time with your parents. I am so blessed to have both of them still with me, and take advantage of the fact that they love me undconditionally. Its amazing to me how God works, I would have never come to this realization if I wouldn't have gone to Greenville to see my mamaw yesterday instead of today and had the opportunity to sit down and talk with one of my cousins about what being a Christian is really all about! God is working in my life, and I pray He is working in yours. Accept all things, good or bad, He has a plan for your life, as well as mine!
