My Father’s care

It was my senior year of college, and I had just returned home for my winter break when, very abruptly, my dad passed on. He was one of the most kind, patient, and faithful men I’ve ever known. He was a great person and an amazing dad. 

I felt so lost. What was I going to do without the man who had always been there to guide me through life? In May of that year, I would be graduating from college, and I had no idea what I was going to do afterward. I wanted to do something purposeful that involved helping others. My dad was the person with whom I most wanted to talk about jobs, but now he wasn’t here. 

During the spring of my senior year, I prayed a lot about both my dad’s passing and employment after college. When I have had challenges in my life, I’ve always turned to God for answers and comfort, and I’ve always found both. I knew that God would take care of me this time, too, but at times things felt like an uphill battle. There were days when I felt very sad and lost.
