Father, Daddy? D

So I'm not breathing wonderfully, but not terribly.  I haven't needed oxygen during the day for the past few days now, but I still need it when I sleep.  But!  Saturday night was my neighbor/friend/like my little sister's sweet sixteen!! AHH!  She looked absolutely gorgeous!  It was a great party -- and how nice is God that He even gave me breath to dance!  Great night.  Sunday I had breath, too!  I went to church in the morning (without doing my therapy.. ok so that's not a great idea, but I overslept and didn't want to miss it) but I didn't choke.  Then the fellowship lunch was fun, and then I came home, and STILL had breath and energy!  And on top of that, it was sooo nice and sunny out, so I cleaned out the inside of my car -- it was GREATLY needed.. hahah.   Monday I went to class, and wasn't breathing like darth vader!! Usually when I'm walking to class, I'll be breathing soo loud and soo heavily.  But I wasn't like that!  God blessed me with such a nice professor - very understanding and willing to work with me.  Praise God!  After class I talked with some classmates and then picked up pictures of my neighbor's sweet 16, sorted them, cleaned my room a little, and then went next door to give them the pics!  Even that was such a blessing.  We don't hang out often, and I can't remember the last time I just hung out in their house with their fam, but last night we did.  And, their aunt (probably my favorite relative of their's haha) is visiting.  I know it sounds cliche to use the word 'blessing' so much, but that's the only way I can describe it.  I loved being able to spend time with all of them just relaxing.  Anyway, I didn't sleep with my oxygen last night.. I know, I know, I should have.  But it's like a lose -  lose because I can't sleep with the oxygen on, and if I sleep with it off, I feel sick when I wake up.  So I felt sick, and veryyy tired, and slept basically all day except for my therapies and meals.  Finally I had to get up for my IV, and by then I was ready to be awake!  Did some dishes, and read and prayed.  I don't know what is wrong with me lately, but I just feel like I'm putting off praying and reading and stuff.  It's terrible because I long to be in the presence of God, be with Him, but then when it comes down to it, I fill my day with other things.  So please pray about that and about being molded and sensitive to the Spirit.  Thanks guys!  Anyway, all I have to say is that Jesus Christ is AWESOME!  Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him!  I had such a nice time with Him (once I finally got around to it.. ugh.) .  I just LOVE how He loves us!  It's not a love like any other.  Bahhh.. Just think.. Like can't you just imagine being in His loving arms.  Talking, laughing.  He is our Heavenly Father.  He longs to cradle us, spend time with us, love us.  Sometimes when people think of words, certain associations follow.  Just as Juliet didn't get caught up in this (a rose by any other name WOULD smell as sweet!), we shouldn't either. Many times the word 'father' has the connotation of a stern and mean parent.  But say the word Daddy, and you think of an intimate relationship between the child and their 'daddy'.  A positive, loving relationship.  That's what our Father is.  He is a daddy, and just as earthly fathers want to lavish their children with gifts, so does our Heavenly Father.  Matthew 7:11 "So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him."  Bahhh Jesus <3

I have a Heavenly Father because God is love.
