Introduction--Part II: My Parents

Now that I've finally got this thing working, I thought I'd try
posting to my journal and tell you some about
my parents.

My father still lives in Detroit. I have two brothers and a sister by
him. I love my dad a lot. God has done a lot in our relationship.
While growing up, we weren't around each other much. He had his life
going on, I guess, and that really hurt and scarred me. As life went
on, the Lord Jesus Christ helped me to forgive and love my father.

When my mom left for Arizona in 200e, the Lord brought my dad closer
to me. We did things together and he was there for me. We would talk
and laugh. It was quite neat to have him around, even if it was later
on in life. We really became close and I loved that.

When I moved to Arizona, it broke his heart. I thought I was the only
enjoying our relationship. It wasn't until I was planning on moving
that I found out he enjoyed it as well. My heart was broken about
leaving him, but I had to obey the will of the Lord for my life.

My desires for my Papa are (1) that he ba saved and know the Lord
Jesus Christ as his Lord, (2) that I will get to visit him this year.

My mommy is a wonderful, wise woman. I thank my God above for allowing
her to be in my life. She has been in my corner since I landed on this
earth. I haven't been the easiest child to get along with. (1) Being
born blind surely was a surprise; (2) being strong-willed was (and
still is) interesting. But my mom has given me loads of wisdom and I
appreciate her for this.

Besides leading me to Jesus Christ, who is my Lord and Savior,
I thank my mommy for believing in me, especially when I didn't believe
in myself. She is my biggest cheerleader and greatest confidante. She
is not afraid of me or of telling me the thruth. I am so proud to have
her as a mom!!!

Well, in the next post--Intro Part III--I'll let you in on the rest of
my family. I gotta keep yall guessin'

Peace
