I pray daily for C.J. and I to have a great relationship as father and daughter. This week that prayer became all so real as one of my students had to wait to see if his mother had survived the earthquake in Haiti. I spoke with him briefly and let him know I was praying for him and his family. The only thing was that I could not imagine how he was feeling.
As I wake up in the morning and go to bed at night, the crib and bed are too far apart for me and C.J. So me being countries apart would devastate me. I could not put myself in his shoes. I did not know what else I could do. All I could do was kiss my princess and hug her tightly.
This is something I want to do daily until she gets too old and then is embarrassed by her dear old dad. Go figure, C.J. better not do that to me. It would be that embrace and that kiss that will give us both assurance that we are complete, that the fire inside of us is still healthy and strong.
I will tell you this...a load was lifted when I spoke to my student just a few minutes ago and he informed me that his mother was alive along with his brother. I immediately told him, "Look at God working!" and entered into Praise. Point blank, God is Awesome!
Today was Daddy bath day and it went well. I have to give myself a B+ only because Mommy was standing there so I made her assist. Other than that we prayed, played video games and she fell asleep in record time. I love that kid!
So as we part tonight, always remember to pray because as the testimony of my student shows us, prayer changes things, situations and people. He deserves and receives all my PRAISE!!
