Luke and Chelsey met this American guy and asked all of us if we want to go and have coffee with this guy. So I was like why not and since there are others going too it would be fun. Also it is such a pretty little town.
So we met this guy named Sean and we all sit down and he was wondering our backgrounds and why we are on the race? So we all go around the table and share our stories. I realize that I have a nervous laugh before I speak. I guess because I do not do well with meeting new people and letting my story known. But yes I did share and gave him a short version that I grew up in the church, lived in a single parent home and going on the race to be closer to my heavenly Father. But no one realized that our Father was pulling up a chair to join us. Because Sean shared a little bit that he too knows about faith and all however, he got hurt and strayed away.
So we decided to go feedback style on him. To give him encouraging words and lean on our Father again. So we all go around the table again, but I had to be skipped because my Father revealed to me why my earthly father was taken from me. It has been 15 and half years of not knowing why he was taken. But now I know why because my Heavenly father wants me to help the lost. Not the lost that have lost loved ones, but the ones that have run away from the Father. But I should still being in prayer for the children if they have a love one that is ill or lose a loved one. I need to pray for protection over them that they do not run from the Father.
For I have been there before running from our Heavenly Father when my dad pasted away. Wondering what I did wrong. I thought I was betrayed by my Heavenly Father because when I was younger I was such a strong believer in our Father. And never thought my Heavenly Father would put one of his children through this kind of pain. But now realizing I have done nothing wrong and it was part of my Heavenly Father’s plan.
As I got older I have learned to lean on my Heavenly Father when tough times come. Also that running away from him is not a good idea. Because he will find a way to reconnect with you and never give up on you. For I have learned my lesson to not run but to learn from every lesson he puts in my life. So the death of my dad has taught me to pray for the lost children that run away from our Heavenly father. Not to run away but to run into our Heavenly father’s arms.
