The Ultimate 'Daddy's Girl!'

Isn't funny how movies 'speak' to us? I was watching "The Cutting Edge" the other night and had a really sweet 'breakthrough.' It's about a girl whose Mom died when she was young. Mom must have been a Ice Skating Olympian and Dad wanted the little girl to continue the legacy. In the end, the girl was only doing what she thought would make her Dad happy. She became burnt out and said, 'When or loose, I just want to be your Daughter."

I am the youngest of 3 girls. Yes, my parents were hoping for a boy. My Dad is an only child and is a Jr. to His father who was very much the 'socialite' back in the day. My Dad 'hints' about stories from his childhood not being the easiest, however my Sisters and I knew him as the 'Prince!' I know my Grandparents wanted my Parents to have a boy to continue the family name, however the legacy ended when I was born. I was brought up to be very independent. Thru some Freedom counseling, I realized I didn't need anyone to help-I could run the world at the age of 5 if nothing else my life-right? I was/am Daddy's Girl-the boy he never had. From fast pitch softball to doing business deals, I am His 'minnie me.' We think totally alike and can finish each others sentences. Oddly enough, it just hit me the other night what He would tell me all my life~I could do whatever I sought out after and He would support me! He truly only wanted me to be Happy. Tears! See all my life, I've been trying to do whatever to make Him(both my Parents) happy. Work hard~makes lots of money. It was just this last September til now that I finally understand THEY want me to do whatever makes me happy and the money will come. Gosh. This is the same thing I just learned with my 'Heavenly Daddy!" He has given me so many wonderful gifts that I'm learning to appreciate-most important the gift of compassion to really love people. As I've learned to completely surrender all to Him-I have so much peace and am so happy! The knowledge that He~God~created me for His purpose and His plan in His timing is so real to me today! I am the ULTIMATE DADDY'S GIRL and Trusting God for all!
