What a Girl Wants

Watched this really cute movie last night with my daughter and her friends as they celebrated E's (my daughter) birthday. The premise of the movie is a girl grows up without the thing she wants most, her dad, and her journey to find him and herself.

Doing what I do, soldier in the Army, a pilot in helicopters, and the inherent risk with those things, makes me fearful of creating a similar situation. My only hope in the face of that fear is that I am not the person that completes my daughter's identity. My prayer is to teach her that, and while there may be a hole in this "life" of hers should the hazards of this job take their toll, the Life that is given to her by her Father can make her completely whole!

Oh this is a tough one. There are many times that I've
wondered - if for some reason I'm not here anymore for my child - how will they
know both my desire and hope for them that they establish for themselves a
relationship with Father?

I've even seriously considered making a video
tape of myself sharing my testimony and my journey with Him for the just in
case. Of course I have my writings - Approaching Glory Articles (as opposed to
the general blog - Approaching Glory)

Every girl wants to be affirmed
and unconditionally loved by Daddy. Daddy sets the pattern for so much emotional
and spiritual issues in a little girl's life. And when you don't have a healthy
example the scars can be tremendous. But we serve a good Father who - given the
chance - reveals Himself to be the perfect Father.

The fact that you
would even consider this lets me know you must be a pretty sharp Daddy. Your
little girl is blessed.
