I like break it gives me time to think. Lots of nice free time. Today I was reading my bible and started to pray a scripture when I was reminded of how I came around to praying scriptures, and that is by the man who taught me how to pray. That man be Pastor Allen. One of the deffinate most awesome people in the world. He taught me how to pray. It was tough but he got me to do it. His effect has lasted in my life to this day. For him and his teachings I am thankful and I take joy in the relationship I've built with God through that.
Christmas is especially hard for me because of my past. It brings back rough memories of drunken custody attempts by my Dad, and getting gifts from him just reminds me of how much he doesn't know me. Why? Because I never see him nor spend time with him. Today I actually thought to myself that my life would make a whole lot more sense if I just didn't know him. But of course I wouldn't be who I am if it was for the trials I was forced through. If it wasn't for the strength and joy God so graciously gave me knowing I'd need it in order to turn out the way I have. I could run away and God would never leave me. You can't run away from him. Yeah, I could runaway from my dad like we had to do many years ago, but I do believe that if God showed up on my doorstep and said I needed to go with him. There would be no way in the world I could run away from that ever. Besides he knows me so well he'd know just where to find me. That's why it's easiest just to stay within his shelter and his provision.
Today was a good day. Funny things took place. Have you ever dreamed about someone you haven't seen in a while and the next day you see them? Yeah, totally happened to me.
