a prayer.

dear Daddy,

my friends and I have been talking about friendships a LOT lately.

like a lot, a lot.

we've also been talking about how to maintain them during college,

and we're spending as much quality time as we can with each other this summer.

then tonight, I realized something.

I haven't spent a whole lot of quality time with you.

I'm really tired right now and i was almost tempted to skip out on worship,

but I knew that i couldn't.

Daddy, You are my best friend.

You honestly are.

but how in the world can i call You that when i hardly spend time with you?

i've been spending a lot more time with other people than i have with You.

i'm so sorry that i've neglected You.

that i've put You on the back burner.

that i didn't spend time with You when i said i would.

that's not what friends do to each other.

i'm so sorry. :(

Daddy, this moment is just for You and me.

everyone else in the house is asleep.

everything's quiet.

so it's just You-and-me time.

and i want to savor it.

i love You, Daddy.

amen.
