God Is Faithful

I have not seen or heard from my dad since I was thirteen years old. I grew up without a father and that was very hard.

After going through a divorce myself, I moved to Decatur to get a fresh start. This was the lowest point in my life. Then my good looking neighbor asked me on a date....and it was to church, at Decatur Baptist. I fell in love with Decatur Baptist and I have attended every service since.

Our Pastor, Doug Ripley, preached on forgiving and honoring your fathers in January and I became convicted. My boyfriend had proposed to me and I wanted to start the new chapter in my life right. After much prayer, God made it clear that I should put forth effort to contact my father. I found out where my father was living and wrote him a letter. We exchanged emails and phone numbers and now we talk a few times a week.

My father attended my wedding on May 6, 2006 and came to visit this past weekend.

God is so good. My father and I now have the best relationship and are getting to know each other all over again.

I have the most wonderful Christian husband and now I have my daddy too! Praise God!
