After over a decade of not seeing my dad I made a trip to San Diego to see if reconciliation was possible.  It was possible.  More so than I thought.  I now have a dad!  My kids have a grandpa, my wife a father-in-law.

I've dealt with years of abandonment and bitterness because I was believing a lie that I was hated and rejected.

Jesus brings healing much deeper than I've known before in my last 15 years of this futile faith I've been grasping onto.  My heart has been battered and broken, my spirit bruised and torn.  Now reconciliation begins, strongholds are being broken, and bondage no longer has a grip.

There is hope after all.  After all is lost there is only life left to gain.  wow.
