River Rise
"Since you were little, I always knew you were destined to be great at something." Words from my Dad after asking me what I planned to do beyond my current job. At first his words kind of cut me a little, almost to say that I wasn't living up to his expectations for my life....Funny how those same words mean so much more a year later. You ever hear something and not hear it at the same time. Sometimes our circumstances, situations, or in my case, complacency can cloud our view so much so that we can not even hear. My dad spoke those words to me when my life was at a stalled place. I really did not feel like life was going anywhere. You know the place not really moving forward or backwards just still, yet my father saw something in me that I could not anymore (Back story: I was the All-American girl most of my life). My SEED of destiny!!! You see everyone has one because God planted it before our conception; but, it's a matter of tapping into yours to get it watered to produce its fruit filled potential. Hence the river rising (frustration) to water my seed (destiny). As I lay awake the other night like a little kid the night before Christmas, I once again got excited for what the future holds for me. I remembered my dad's words and guess what Pops...now I can see it too. I'm Destined for Greatness.
THANKS DAD FOR BELIEVING IN ME WHEN AT TIMES I STOP BELIEVING IN MYSELF. I LOVE YOU POPPA Happy Father's Day

ReplyDeleteThis is really True & You are and Can Do What You Believe.
This Blog Touches "My Heart" Because Sometimes I Feel that You Think I am to Critical or Hard(for a better word).
I love you Dad. I have never felt you were too hard on me. You have just always seen something in me that sometimes I couldn't see in myself :)
ReplyDeleteIt is such an awesome blessing to see you embrace what so many of us have seen for years. I am so very proud of the woman you have become and are becoming. I am just watching our God in pure amazement as he works in both of our lives. Keep it up Sis!!
