As a current update, life is definatley changed more than ever expected. I now am a sophomore at Kirkwood Community College studying Business Management with an emphasis in Human Resource management. I work 2 jobs and am no longer dating Dalton. My views toward many things have changed, but that is a whole other chapter. Enough of the boring stuff...
So August 23, 2011 my father got an OWI. Not seeming to be a big deal to some, but kind of a "cry" for help it seems. As for those who don't know my father at all, he has been on this roller coaster for God since he was a teen. With a lot of very high ups and some very low downs, my dad is who he is. Recently, he seemed to be on a "Jesus high", He went to church every Sunday, got involved in a men's ministry, and even met a lot of new new people at church and hung out outside the congregation. With all that "good" he seemed to kind of resit the church and fall to temptation of meeting girls and getting drunk at bars. He is legally still a married man, so you see my dilemma. My mother moved out of the house in November of 2010, ever since then my dad was "getting his life together" he claimed. He definatley had some weak points, as we all do. Don't get me wrong, he is a great man that loves the Lord. Just sometimes he gets a little confused. Since my mom left, he had also purchesed a memebership to the local Y and lost 15 pounds. Somthing he never thought he could do, and is keeping the weight off. The kicker you ask? He counters all this good with so much bad. I could for see this OWI, that sounds terrible, but it was bound to happen. He liked to drink and meet people, one of the ways he could open up..
The worst part of this whole situation in my opinion--he is pushing me away and blaming my mom. Which I hope it's clear to you as it is to me, that this is all entirely his responsibility and no ones fault but his own...
This life goes on each and everyday, more is sure to come, for now.. I have said my peace.
Nothing without Jesus, all for HIS Glory
