We, at church, just embarked on an awesome trek...
And apparently the "Church Federation" is directing THOUSANDS of churches at this time to do the same. We all are on a trek to answer the question put before us,
"God is..."
Now here is the problem, most times when I write this blog, it is my own take on the services and how they affect me. I don't want to take away from an awesome service about how "God is...Frightening", I just feel drawn and compelled to write what God is to me...
You see, after years of being blind to the obvious, I came back to my Father-in-Heaven. And graciously he held out his arms and lifted me up...
For those that can relate, this was a struggle, to say the least. Just to give you a quick glimpse of what I let kept me away from him:
I had been away from my Father, and my daughter had been away from me. You see, as much fear as I had for my daughter and the unknown, I also held copious amounts of love. And in the end I was rewarded.
For the last couple of weeks, I have been blessed to spend time with my daughter, a gift beyond any measure. It has brought so much peace in my life. I can not thank those involved, that helped make this a possibility, enough.
So next time you, yourself, try to answer: "God is...", please look outside the box. Answer from within, what God truly is to you.
And remember no matter the size of a blessing, in the end, you are still blessed.

FOR ME...
God is...A Second-Chance Father!
And so am I!

For those that can relate, this was a struggle, to say the least. Just to give you a quick glimpse of what I let kept me away from him:
Drug abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, mental abuse, being the victim, being the antagonist, true fear, lack of understanding, premature death of my father, inability to cope with my own past, present, choices, actions, and so much more...
