last conversation with dad

i miss him but i am used to not having him around... it has been 17 years since my dad died due to an accident but the last meal and the last conversation I had with him was still clear in my mind. we were talking about my future.

I always wanted to be a lawyer when I was a child and that was my dad's dream for me also--to send me to school until I have a doctorate in law. that's how supportive he was of my studies. I even remember him saying as long asl he could afford to send me to school he wouldn't stop supporting me.

that dream died when I lost my father. I became afraid of my future. I didn't even know if I could make it to a college level but God is good and He holds my future in His hands. This event in my life make me realize how great my heavenly Father is. Though my dreams died with my earthly father and it didn't happen exactly as we thougt it would be, I entrusted my future with Him and hold on to His promise in Jeremiah 29:11 "for I know the plans I have for you... plans to give you hope and a future..."
