Graceful Girls

Last month I had the blessing of attending a Valentines Dance with my girls, Ellie and Carly. Wow! We had a blast! I ended up dancing almost every dance taking turns with my daughters. Whew! The music took me down memory lane, old tunes from the 60's and 70's. The evening went by so fast, I couldn't believe it. The girls were both surprised too when the call for last dance came at the end of the evening.

Truth be known, I was a little reluctant to go to the dance. I figured that I would be one of the few dads in attendance. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and go for it. What a blessing! The dance was sold out and everyone had a great time. I have found that when I take a risk, step out of my comfort zone, even in little ways like Valentine Dances, the Lord blesses me and teaches me to trust, listen to His heart for people and be more willing to GO............

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.

I'm finding that Jesus' heart is for people, building relationships with people and this begins with my wife and children. Thank you Lord for this opportunity to grow closer to my girls.
