So I am all about the daddy's little girl thing, but I just have to vent. I for sure want Piper to be a daddy's little girl which she whole heartedly is especially since Beck came, however COMMA.... it's not so fun ALL THE TIME. Lately it's all the time. She goes down for a nap, and wants her daddy, I give her a bath, brush her teeth, put her in time out, get her up for the day, and all she does is want her daddy. Makes it kind of hard to see the rewards in all that when daddy is such the hero. Hopefully the vendetta comes when Beck is of that age.
So on my first spiritual note here.. I had an overwhelming thought. A couple of people dear to my heart are going through trials. I talk to them and see and hear the pain in their lives, see it in their eyes and I turn and leave them and literally put my hand over my chest to try to numb the pain I feel for them. I have been constantly thinking of them and letting myself ache for them. I wish I could magically say the right thing and give perfect advice to put an end to their discontentment. So it got me thinking.. Oh AH HA that is what Christ must feel for each of us. And it was a nice thing to feel. A very comforting thing for me at this time in my life. Knowing he wishes he could take away my pain just as much as I wish I could take theirs from them. Even if it meant putting it on me instead. Someone knows your heart and the pain that you feel even if no one else listens or gets it.

Very great thought...so true
I would like you tell you that being a daddy's girl is a phase and we always want our mommy but I am a daddy's girl through-and-through. Always have been and always will. I have moments where I totally need my mom but i click with my dad way better.
One thing I've have learned through all my trials is that now I know how someone else feels in that situation...it may seem very simple until you experience that trial and meet someone who has cancer or who has lost a child and think...I don't know exactly how you feel. But it touches my heart because I have been to that depth of despair. And that is how we ultimately how we become more Christlike, by going through things He went through for all of us. And being able to rely on each other for that strength as well.
Hey!! My inlaws were in town this week so that's why I haven't called you back. I need to post the pictures of us, but they're on my sisters camera, I'll work on it. I'll call you this week for sure on one of my lunch breaks. I miss you and love your guts! Your blog is super! Love the pictures, cutest kids ever!
Great thought, it is comforting to know that we are not alone when we got through rough times.
You have always been a person that cares so much about others! I know how you feel for sure! I have many family members that I feel the same way about! I would imagine it will feel much like that as our children grow up and start making choices!
