Life has a way of bringing to us the unexpected. But what happens when the unexpected comes wrapped in disappointment? Do we forget about the very foundation of what we believe and stay true to it or do we fold under the pressure?
Yesterday started out to be a great day. My husband and I went for our morning walk; I spent my power hour in mediation/prayer and listened to some personal/spiritual growth information on my IPod.
Then the phone rang and it was my son telling me that they had lost the baby. She was still born. My heart stopped for a moment because we had just experienced this last year, when little Maya was still born. I just didn’t want to do this again.
And the worst was to hear my son’s voice as he shared the information. He said mom, “I wanted this baby so badly.” As I put the phone down, I began to remember who God is and how His Love will comfort and protect us. That is my foundational truth and at this moment I needed to remember it.
When the unexpected comes our way, and there is no explanation for the pain, we must shift our hearts and our minds towards love. Please know that my family and I did experience pain and we couldn’t keep it from coming our way. But we do have a choice...not to suffer.
While this is painful to experience, we will not allow it to make us suffer. As we remain in love’s space and as we continue to love each other and thank God for what we will never understand, we can and will heal.
Loves heals, renews, make us safe, inspires us with its power and brings us closer to God. This is what I know for sure. In times when you don’t have answers, remember that love is the answer to every question.
The ultimate lesson here is that we walk in the light of love and the truth that extends beyond any truth that our human mind presently knows. Because the spiritual mind knows far more than we could ever comprehend. So it’s really okay to not have all the answers, as long as we have love and peace. This is what I know for sure.
About Fatherless Daughters
- Let's Share Now!
- A Fatherless Daughter is a female who grew up with an unavailable father due to divorce, death, abandonment or a dad's inability to show his daughter the kind of love and validation needed as a young girl. Her dad may have been unavailable due to being a work alcoholic, , drug and alcohol addiction or he simply lacked the ability to form any close emotional bond or could not show love. Whatever the reason for his absence, the life of that daughter will be impacted on many levels especially in two specific areas...love and money. When a father makes it clear to his daughter that he loves her unconditionally, just for who she is, he lays the foundation for her healthy self perception. When he shows approval for how she looks and what she does, he validates her existence. When he makes her feel that she can depend on those who love her to meet her needs, she feels secure. If these things do not exist in a girl's life as she approaches womanhood, she begins to judge her life's success based on the money she earns and love she finds. If she struggles in these areas, she begins to feel unwanted, unsafe, insecure and rejected. There begins the "Making of a Fatherless Daughter."
