Forever A Daddy's Girl

I have always been a daddy's girl. I have no shame in saying it, he has been my main go to guy for 32 years now. When I was a baby, my mom always says how I would stay up late with Dad as he watched TV. And as I got older seeing my dad on the sidelines at all my games and practices made me play better, I like to think. And now in my 30s if something breaks, I try to fix it first, but I usually wind up calling my daddy. I had to do that three time this past weekend. The funny thing is after I called him, the silly problem started to fix it's self.

This all got me to thinking about how I am also a daddy's girl with my Father up in Heaven, BUT I am not as quick to call him when I need something fixed as I am my earthly father. Here on earth I try to fix everything myself. BUT unlike here I don't give up as easy. This weekend when things broke I called my dad within 5 mins of me not being able to fix the darn thing. Why am I not that quick to call on my Heavenly Father? I fear it is a little because of doubt. When I call daddy here on earth I see him come RIGHT to the rescue and make it all better. But with my Lord, I can not always see the changes that are happening to make things better.

In my reading this morning, James 1:6 says "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." How about that folks, first off I need to ask and then when I do I need to believe. Sounds pretty simple right! Yet I feel I will be that wave on the sea tossed around still. The great thing is I know that the Lord will always be there for this girl. Even when I take my time asking for help.

I guess what I am saying is it is okay to be a daddy's girl her on earth. BUT don't forget that there is one BIG DADDY up above that for sure can fix things, we just need to come to him sooner than later!
