So I cannot tell you the amount of love I have felt today in the midst of some really intense confusion...
He has a way of giving that undeniable peace even with things are crazy. Not to say that things in my life are bad or are at a rocky stage... but just that some things are interesting. I am still learning. Learning in new ways, in interesting ways, but in ways that are teaching me things I would have never known about if it were not for the ups and downs along the way.
I am so blessed with the friends and family I have. After getting off work yesterday I spent time with my girls explaining to them what was going on in my heart/life, and man!! It was great... you know those times when you are with your friends that is so genuine and true... so authentic and in your face... yeah. That's what it was. They were asking me the tough questions that I never knew I'd hear, those tough questions I longed for someone to call me out on, those tough questions that made me uncomfortable but yet with the love they had in their voice when it was asked, it made it okay.
Here's an email I recieved from my father in response to my last post... I have the best dad EVER. Not only did this touch my life in ways I needed, but yet it touched my best friend and every girl I have let read it.... the world needs more men like this to encourage... to shine light on a subject that 99% of dads are scared to death to talk about with their daughters!
I hope this can bless you:
Can you imagine how God feels sometimes the way we treat Him. Wow, mind boggling…Anyway, my dearest daughter, this is why relationships are always changing and developing. The only certain thing is change will come---it’s just a matter of time. Growing up in this era is mighty painful and I certainly realize the agony but can only empathize with your situation. However, one thing is sure and never changing and that is that Almighty God has a prefect and awesome plan for your life. Sometimes the journey is difficult with relationships but one thing for sure whenever you follow God’s direction the joy and blessings and the touch of the Master seem to destroy the agony of it all. Be joyful and know that you are wonderful and that sometimes we have to turn over a lot of stones to find our frog that is our Prince. I love you and only wish you to find God’s wonderful, perfect , will for your life. Sitting the bench is sometimes the best way to rekindle your passion for playing the game. Watch the game intently , ready yourself, and when the coach puts you in the game, play with your passion with the understanding that from hurt grows strength and from strength grows power and from power grows wisdom and from wisdom grows love that is unconditional. Maybe the past has made you smart and conditioned you to only accept nothing less than the best---which I agree and will do my best to make sure that my darling daughter Darby gets the best. After all, that is God’s plan and I’m certain all the prayers your Mom and I have prayed asking for this one thing will be answered in His time and by your passion.
Love you,
Dad
