but today cindy reminded me so kindly that i committed to blogging about my strong fathers, strong daughters readings. all to which i've failed miserably. so, that being said, i'll sum up the entire thing in a nutshell...
dudes, man up. if you are a dad of a girl, or ever plan on being one, we must fight for her from the beginning. so many things i've read in this book are already true for me. natalie already wants my attention. she wants my approval. she puts a tutu (yes i said that) or a skirt on, or new shoes, and the first thing she wants to do is come and show me how pretty she is. i'm thinking that this will never change.
so... not that i didn't before, but i definitely make sure that i kiss her about a thousand times every day, and tell her how beautiful she is and how much i love her. and as i've said before, i thank jesus every day that she gets to grow up knowing this as the norm.
and i won't lie, every time she follows me to the door on my way to work saying "daddy, love you" over and over... it rips a little bit of my heart out of my chest. good gracious i love being a dad.
so... with all that said, its nice to at least be temporarily back writing my blog at 11 pm at night after an amazing sunday at newspring. hopefully in the midst of everything going on in our family, and with the incredible growth and activity of our church, i'll find time to post some more, especially to keep up with family and friends who we've probably fell a little bit out of touch with.
and if you've never read this blog, (providing i keep it up)... know that you'll probably get all parts of me on here... stuff jesus is nailing me with, family, music... and whatever else falls in between.
so... for some immediate "in-between" stuff.... my current soundtrack is the new david gray 2 disc "foundling" album that releases tuesday. do yourself a favor and get that as soon as you can. easily one of the most beautiful and perfect records i've ever heard. bold words. but true.
