My Father, My Friend

My Dad sent me a friend request on Facebook recently. I looked down on my phone and saw my Dad's name followed by the words, 'wants to be friends.' I gladly accepted. As I accepted his friend request, my heart was drawn into something I've been pondering lately - Friendship with my Father. It's amazing how friendship with my parents has happened. I can't tell you when it exactly happened, but somewhere along the way I became friends with my parents and not just a daughter. In fact, I don't call my parents because I have to...I really want to check on them, share my feelings with them, and just tell them about the mundane things of my day. Why? Because we're friends. Just yesterday I called my mom to see how her day was going. As I hung up the phone with her I thought about my teen years - back when I was much smarter than she was and couldn't stand it when she wanted to know every little detail of my day, let alone my Life! As my mind wandered back

The Power of Trials

Sometimes when I sit down to ask the Lord a question, he directs me to past journal entries. That's exactly what Papa did to me a few minutes ago...I was searching for an entry about abiding when I came across this one without even intending to do so. And wow- I'm so glad I did. Belows is a journal entry from September 23, 2011. I pray it blesses you as it did me all over again!   Jesus, thank you for being that servant, the very one Isaiah sadi would come. I am amazed at the accuracy of the prophecies! How you fulfilled them Lord! Oh, thank you that you came with the Spirit of god upon you. Thank you that you walked in wisdom and knowledge of things too great for us to understand. Thank you, that you were willing to be humbled, humiliated, ridiculed and beaten to the point of being unrecognizable. It’s cruel. I am sorry for you and yet, so thankful to you. I believe you have brought me freedom from prison! You have opened my eyes! Beloved! I love you. Thank you for
