I was raised by a single mom and I was also an only child. This had its advantages and also disadvantages. One disadvantage was I really never had a "father figure" in my life. I also had a mother that worked ALOT of hours so she could provide me with my needs and yes, even some of my "wants". As a teenager, I became friends with a young lady whose family opened their home to me and also introduced me to church. Don't get me wrong, I had attended church but not really as a "family".
At this time, I still did not realize what GOD could be to me. It has only been this past year that I realized that HE IS THE FATHER I never had in my life. HE IS the one whose lap I can crawl into and let HIM wrap his loving arms around me and I can cry on HIS shoulder. I can tell HIM everything and HE still loves me. HE knows my frustrations, my failures, my joy, my tears, my heartache, my praises, my innermost thoughts and feelings.
This week, I had one closing that has been a-l-o-n-g time coming. I praise and thank HIM for that blessing. I still have another one that "should have" closed by now but is really "TESTING" me :-) .
So for myself and all you others that may be going through (hope you "catch that one") challenges whether professionally or personally here's a song for all of us...
