Hi Desirae -

I think your father is missing the mark, but maybe it is emotionally easier for him to preach than to let his guard down and just show you love, in a way you are probably yearning for, and want desperately.

That's why it is hard for us to understand how much God loves us, b/c our earthly fathers for whatever reasons are often unable to open up their hearts, and tell us how proud they are of us, and how much they love us.

I'm sorry your earthly Dad, just skipped over the things that are so precious to you at this time -- like your beautiful children, and the fact you have taken the big step of going back to college!! You are one amazing young lady in my book.

I'll say a prayer that next time your Dad calls, he is more collected and focused, and will ask about what matters most to you.

Hugs and love,

EJ
