Hey, so this is a bit late to be blogging, but it was practically a "Challenge accepted" moment since just talking with AZ now he said he was going to sleep and that he was "[12:41:55 AM] AZ: too lazy to post this late at night. I still dunno how you manage to do it. lol." Bwaha.
But ya. this is an update on my post about Saturday night. I was feeling really bad about disobeying my dad and my Father by driving all the way out to Carp on the highway, so I felt I should confess not only disobeying my dad, and hurting the car, but also all the ways I had been abusing the blessing the car was by doing certain (practically harmless) illegal things. And finally giving it back for a little while to be repaired and also because I have been abusing this privilege.
I'm not all that close with my dad and I thought it would end badly, so Sunday I started getting cold feet. Luckily I have brothers to keep me accountable.
I ended up telling him it all.
He dealt with it pretty well. He even asked "why are you telling me all these things?" I didn't go into the whole Spirit convicting me of sin, but just said I was feeling bad. But still, it was good confessing that and getting it over with.
And ya, today I got to keep helping to install the new storm door (because Sandy is coming? maybe. Because the old one was practically falling off? Largely.). It's been fun working on that together with my dad. Nothing changed between Saturday and Monday working on it. The only difference is I don't have a car key right now. But between me and my dad nothing has changed. I am still his son.
This is one of the first things I told my friend in East Asia when he accepted Christ. When you accept Christ as your saviour, you become a child of God, and that will never change. The distance between you and your dad may change, but that relationship will always be the same. God will never leave you or abandon you. You are His child now and He loved you all along.
Pretty sweet.
