How Awesome

So two days ago moms and pops came and picked me up so we could go sign some papers and to buy me a desperately needed vacuum cleaner. And as I sat in the back seat watching my parents chit chat in the car I was just so awesomely blown away. Apparently my dad, supreme church hater, felt convicted to go to church this past sunday and he was telling my mom all excitedly about how much he enjoyed it.

wow.

And now we wants to go on a mission trip to Cambodia with them for a week.

O_O


How it all happened was that my daddy since his heart surgery a few years ago has had to go into the hospital to get regular checkups. And I know that he's had some crazy encounters with Jesus plus he's had so many medical miracles happen to him. He knows God is real. But still he hates on church people. But this recent checkup, something changed his mind and made it a little bit more open. So a few days prior to his appointment at the hospital he was feeling all these pains but the actual day he didnt really feel much. And then at the hospital the doctor opened up his thigh and stuck a camera in so my daddy could see his own heart and lo and behold nothing is wrong. And my dad, being the comedian that he is, was like "dang i should go to church" HAHA and so he actually found one and went! And he liked it. And now he wants to go on missions. LOL i dont think he even knows what he's getting himself into. I think he just wants to go on a trip. haha but man...

Praise God! He shows me that even though I am unfaithful he is ALWAYS faithful, working in my parents and their relationship. He is SO good. Instead of saying to my dad "Ugh, I'm so fed up with your disbelief, he STILL reaches out to him, revealing Himself. And praise Him for the encouragements that I receive so abundantly when I dont deserve to be encouraged.

I feel like even though Satan tries to darken my eyes to see just the bad and discouraging things, God lifts up my eyes to the heavens. It's like he lifts up my chin. Just when my heart wants to harden He melts it with love, His love, through others. Shown in big ways and small. Did you know that I found my bible?? The one that I took to India and thought I had lost. I found it! It was under my bed. HAHA =]
