I have been dealing with an issue that I have with my dad lately. And it’s one that I’m not sure I can really place what my issue is.
I am a person who is probably less spiritually mature than I should be, and one thing that never happened at the house was us speaking about godly things, or praising in front of each other. Wed pray together at night but that was about it.
My Dad has always been a pragmatic man, and he has now with his cancer diagnosis become more prone to praising, listening to the word, his entire view and ways of going about things are probably like 9% God focused. And nothing else.
None of these are bad things!! They’re good actually and I should be so happy! But I’m not. I feel like I’m on the ground and he’s in the clouds and I can’t reach him. I can’t connect with him like I had for 26 years. And I’m genuinely sad.
I pray God changes my attitude so that I can have the right one, but I feel like I’m just not able to have that sort of connection that we used to have because his entire view of things has been changed so drastically.
Part of my humanness wants to blame God or all the more Christian related things he is doing: listening to the Bible all night, praying a ton, watching nothing but Christian programming, but I know that he’s trying to keep his focus on God during this time.
That is good! But for some reason I feel like I’m losing my daddy. Like I’m too worldly or not spiritual enough to be able to keep up.
