Last night as we were praying my Snowflake asked, "Jesus bring me a daddy please?" It is a prayer I have heard often and one that makes me want to weep.
She knows and will tell people that God is her Abba, her Father, but my sweet girl longs for a daddy. She has a great Papa (my Dad) and an adopted Grandpa Gary. There are great male role models in her life, but she wants a dad.
That is something I haven't been able to provide for her. I was almost engaged earlier but I realized that I was doing it for the wrong reasons and with the wrong man.
She will only get her deepest prayer if it is for the right reasons: 1. He loves Jesus 2. He loves me and Snowflake 3. God gives me peace. With everything we have been through I have to approach this with my eyes wide open.
I want to find my mate. I loved being married. Marriage is a great institution, but I will be careful and my husband will be a man of God. It will be a good union. So, Snowflake will have to be patient with Mommy and trust me as we both trust God with this desire.
Joy comes when we realize that while our prayers and desires may be godly God may tell us to wait and that is ok. In the meantime we can spend more time with Him and that is the best way to spend time!
