My very good friend Jamie posted this link on his twitter account. I usually follow the links he sends my way, or posts up, and this time I am so very glad I did. I am still feeling so emotional after viewing this, it stirred so much in my heart, past wounds, past hurts, and the forgiveness I have been able to see come to fruition because of Jesus in my life.
A short little back history with me is my Father has made some choices in his life that didn't coincide with having a family, choices that were completely selfish. He chose to pursue an addiction and the life that comes with those choices.
For such a long time I had a hard time dealing with this, I wasn't sure what to do, I was torn between being a good daughter, being loyal, finding out where I fit in, and how I felt about everything.
Even still I still struggle with my feelings and where I will be going from this moment (its all about this moment and choosing to glide into the next). I love my Father, and I do forgive him. I still cry though at this video because I know that pain, that complete love, and I know the sweetest embrace of my Saviour without whom I would be lost.
He helps me love, forgive, walk through painful things and know I am not alone. I am so in love!
Today I give thanks for not only what I mention, but for my friend who posted the link, the person who made the video, for it all! I love you all!
