Authority

Currently I am reading a book called To Own a Dragon by Donald Miller. He writes a very personal book about what it was like growing up without a dad and how God has been teaching him about the love of a father with certain men in his life, namely Jon MacMurray. I think this book is great. As I read it this morning, it made me cry because I just very much get what he feels and has felt. It is like the words lept off the page at me and said "you have felt that" or "you are resentful of authority too". It isn't always glamorous to say you have a rebellious personality when it comes to adults due to the fact your dad left you to fend for yourself as a kid. The odd thing is, if I look at my life...the big picture, God has been "fathering" me my whole life (whether I see it or not). That is weird. I want to explore what that means a bit more. At the end of the day, I want more than a head knowledge of my God. I want to know his heart.

that's all...

peace
