This Thanksgiving my father will not be joining my family. For the past few months he has been living in Alaska. It hurts to see my family fall apart. When I was little I would look at broken families never thinking that one day my family may break. I never dreamed this would happen, but it has. It is still hard to grasp the fact that my family is just like all the other broke families. I feel like we were better than that. We shouldn't have gone down this road.
My life has been a mess this year. Right after my dad left, my boyfriend broke up with me. My dad and my boyfriend were probably the closest people to me at the time. I believe God put them in my life for a reason and took them out for a reason. These past few months have been hard, but I have gotten so much closer to my Mother and sisters. My relationship with God is growing every day. I am learning so much. I am Thankful that God took those two out of my life. Instead of being angry I am going to praise God. I surrender all to Him. He knows what is best for me.
My God is an awesome God. He will supply all of my needs. I will trust in Him.
"When my life seems full of compost, give me patience, Lord, to wait for the roses."
Trying to surrender all,
Emily

Wow, girl, that's truly a beautiful post! I TOTALLY understand about having to learn to surrender...it seems like somehting that God is always teaching me. I have had so many trials the past few years, and have been through so much that the only thing I could do was hand it to God. It's hard, and most times painful, but He will always carry you and give you His strength.
When you were talking about how He took your dad and your boyfriend (some of the closest people in your life) out of your life, my heart went out to you. I know how painful that is because it's happened to me a lot the past few years. That's one of the things that hits closest to home for me b/c I am so relationship minded. But it is so neat to see how the Lord can take that and use it to draw you closer to HIm...I know that's what He did for me.
