My Father

•Father-Daughter Date•

So in awe at how amazing our father is. And I could stop at that sentence because truly these past 2 months everyday I’m completely and utterly in awe of God’s love for us. Not just in my own life but in everyone’s around me; he was moving and is still moving. So I decided I would take today to thank him by catching up on reading (cause I was slacking) and by just admiring his creation. Just looking at how beautiful this lake is and how beautiful the weather is. And it got me thinking about how we admire God’s creation in everything but ourselves. Honestly sometimes it’s hard to grasp that the same God that created mountains, roses, butterflies, lakes, oceans and all of this world, Thought to create us. The body we have and the hair we have even the taste buds we have. He knows what I like and he even puts things in my heart to love and to have passion for. See if you know me you know I love the outdoors and I also love the water. I love oceans and beaches and lakes. I’ve always loved them and I’ve always admired them from afar. Maybe that’s why Moana is my favorite princess because she’s living the dream haha but God always placed a love for his creation in my heart. The thing is if you know me you also know I have a fear of going underwater. It’s quite the predicament isn’t it? Girl Who loves water also fears it. Funny thing is God says to fear but to fear him. But the enemy comes along and sees what good and love our father has placed in us and turns it to fear. And as I’m taking this journey with God I had to face my number one fear, going underwater, to be baptized in his name. That was a battle in itself but the lord helped me prevail. I still struggle with this alongside many fears the enemy has given me (such as not being good enough, being too loud, being too “fat” -in which these lead to other things) but I’ve realized my father protects me. And when the enemy tries to make me fearful of what God has already willed, I turn to my father for guidance in the dark. Because the enemy wants us to be afraid so that we never step into what God set up for us. So what fears has the enemy been telling you?
