Definitely a Daddy's Girl

Today I was so excited to go back to Lynchburg. I got to the airport on time, I got my bags checked and I was ready to go. My flight to Montgomery was late but I did not think anything about it. I get on the plane and I listened to music for like an hour. I land in Charlotte and once I turn my phone on I get a text from my dad that says CALL ME 911. I knew something was up so  I called only to find out that my flight to Lynchburg was canceled. They said the next flight was not until Sunday. At this point I am scared to death. I have never dealt with this. So my dad tells me that my bags should be down stairs as I sit patiently waiting on my friend to come pick me up. Keep in mind she is driving from Lynchburg to Charlotte, a 3 hour drive, just to get me. I go through hell and back to get my bags honestly. I was told several times that they were already flown out to Lynchburg, but thats impossible when the plane hadn't left yet. So my dad who is all the way in Alaska is calling people, the airport, and doing everything he can to make sure his little princess is taken care of. I could not be more thankful for my dad at this point. He knew how upset and stressed out I was and he was doing all that he could to make me happy, and to make things on me easier. I have been blessed with a dad that does so much for me and I don't realize that until I am stuck in an airport in North Carolina, no bags and no clue where I am going or what I am doing. I have never had to deal with canceled flights, lost luggage or anything. God really pulls through though. I know as a 19 year old i should probably know more about an airport than i do, but I don't, luckily God has given me a earthly father that cares so much for me he bends over backwards, practically breaking his back to get me taken care of. I love my father. Do we have a perfect relationship? no, but that does not make me love him less. My dad comes through not only in ways like tonight, but also in spiritual ways. He gives such good, needed advice. Normally it is not even worldly advice it is spiritual. God knew what kind of dad I needed. I needed one who was going to take care of me when were in all the way across the United States from one another. I needed a father who could encourage me, but also be a little harsh at times when I need it. My dad is probably better than anyone's. Always running to my side when I need anything.  Honestly this is my way of thanking my dad for being such a wonderful man, and for putting up with me for so long! I do not know how he did it but I'm sure glad he does.

Oh, You Hold me, Forever You Hold Me.

Today in Convocation I heard a song and it said "Lord Your love it runs so deep every breath You breathe in me You don't give up on me and as long as my heart beats I know You will carry me You don't give up on me." This song means so much to me because I used to be so prideful and self-righteous that I though God had given up on me and I was a lost cause. That not even Jesus could forgive me and cleanse me of my sins. I know a lot of people that also say," I'm too far gone." But do they know that by saying this they are saying, "What Jesus did on the cross is not big enough to cover my sins."  Do you realize what you say when you say Jesus would not even forgive you for the things that you do. You are disrespecting God and telling Him He is not powerful enough. God is ALL MIGHTY! He is so powerful He does not even need us, He wants us. God does not give up on His children, not a single one of us. God pursues us in the purest way there is. He

Jesus Calms a Storm

For so many people it is so easy to worship and praise Jesus when everything is going right. When life is good and you are being surrounded by your friends and family and things seem to be going how you want. You are happy and for you it is easy to praise God and talk about how great our Father is.  But what happens to that joy and happiness when something goes wrong? What happens when something you think is so unfair occurs?  When a friend is taken out of your life unexpectedly? Some times when bad things happen we find ourselves wanting to blame God and we start to question Him. We do not stop to think how God was in the situation we only focus on the tragedy that occurred.  Yesterday some of my friends went hiking. They just wanted to enjoy a day that God had blessed us with. While hiking one of our friends fell an died. Faith Helbig was a sweet, outspoken, spunky, lively girl. I had the honor of getting to know her. She was a light to many. Her heart was beautiful and she wa

Though we don't understand our Father does.

If I had all the answers to life that would be great. If I knew why bad things happened to great people I would be content. But I don't understand why good people die in unfortunate ways, and I don't know why it has to happen to someone who was so harmless. Recently my dad dragged me to Alaska. Not wanting to go of course I still went. I was very weary how things would go just me and dad in Alaska for over a week. Well I got there late that night and the next morning dad was dragging me to work. I so didn't want to go sit in an office all day, but I just didn't know what God had planned for me. My dad had a secretary named Lavonna, and she was a pistol let me tell you. She was a sweet, caring woman, but she didn't take crap from anyone. She would do whatever it takes to take care of someone even someone who has hurt her. She was a strong willed woman who worked hard. Over the week Mrs Lavonna and I got really close. We would ride around and do things for dad, but
