I've had a rough couple of weeks...

Knowing that God is Sovereign and just doesn't leave me much to be angry with... except myself. I'm angry that I didn't relish every second that I had with my dad and we had a great relationship. I cannot imagine losing a parent while the relationship was strained. I now have a passion to awaken students to the great gift they have been given in their parents. I'm sure there are some crummy parents in my ministry, but they are the exception, not the rule. I truly believe that my student's parents love them very much and even when they are harsh or seem oppressive they are just loving to a fault. I applaud parents and will do anything I can to help them. My hope is that through this terrible loss in my life I can help steer students around some heartache in theirs. We'll see...
