I Can’t Stop Crying

I knew when my daddy passed away certain days would come. Days when I just wanted to share “GOD” news with him. Days that conversations would have to be saved for Heaven. However, knowing that has not stopped the tears from flooding down my face. In fact, I can barely see to write this message due to my emotions.

Today, God blessed Refuge Church with the closing of our new church property. Ironically, this new location is the only place in Walterboro I remember as a child. I grew up in St George, SC. Dad would bring us over here for horse auctions. As soon as I walked in there a few months ago, I instantly recalled those childhood memories.

My dad absolutely loved horses. In fact, his last two horses were called King and Nugget. We were able to transition them to a wonderful new home after his passing. So, when I first saw the horses on the church property gate I knew my dad approved of this move.

A part of my dad will always live within me. His ministry and prayers have carried me this far. I feel his spirit often and hear his voice of love. I hate I can’t talk with him now. You see, he has seen my full journey. He knows all the times I wanted to give up and I thought I needed to give up. Yet, here I stand by the TOTAL GRACE OF GOD.

I can’t believe this 3rd year anniversary of his passing is hitting me so hard. However, maybe these emotions have been waiting to pour out. I’m so thankful for my dad and mom. I’m thankful for a Heavenly Father who is always greater than our greatest limitations. Daddy, I love you and will not waste any of your prayers.
