Dear Daddy,
I miss you as well. I know you are enjoying where God has placed you. You've been through a lot to get to this point and I've watched you along the way struggle between ups and downs. Your humble obedience throughout the years to put yourself out there in self denial has taught me what it means to trust God as well as to never quit. In fact, I think of you when I wanna just throw in the towel and it keeps me from giving in. I literally hear you screaming "embrace the suck" when I'm feeling weak as stupid as that may sound. You are such an inspiration, so hard core, so consistent to your character. You are tough yet gentle. And when you mess up, you always make it right; never letting things build up nor becoming bitter. I've learned a lot about what I need to look for in my future husband as well as what type of spouse to be as I watch the love for one another between you and mom. We've had our ups and downs. However, even when I was really mad at you and stubbornly blew things off that you said, I knew and know that you love me. And yes I DO trust you. Thanks for all that you do!
Much love,
Your favorite

Bla Bla Bla
There will always be those random moments of my past sneaking up in an attempt to steal my joy
Always pushing me into a whirlwind of half-trusting HIS plans
However who can reside in Christ and still feel helpless by such attempts
Not one, by dying to self, there is freedom in consistent renewal
Who can feel thrown back by something dead to them now
There is freedom in proclaiming that HE is bigger than lessons learned
And so we wait because we know that "the end of a matter is better than its beginning (Eccl. 7:8)
Because joy is found when we wreck, when we're totaled, realizing that were helpless without HIM
Joy is sustainable, happiness is fleeting.
