Fatherless, Not Forgotten: How I Found God's Presence When I Didn't Know to Look

In this reflection, I open up about what it was like growing up without a consistent father figure and how that experience impacted my sense of safety, love, and trust—not just with people, but with God. For years, I misunderstood what it meant to know Him as a Father. But through deep loss, healing, and intentional pursuit, I discovered a relationship I didn’t know I was allowed to have. This is my journey from emotional survival to spiritual connection, and how I came to see that even in the silence, God was present all along. If you’ve ever felt distant from Him because of pain, betrayal, or uncertainty—this is for you.
