We all have a story. Every woman has her own unique story of pain and of triumph. No matter what your story has been, if it’s not what you want, you have the power to change it at any time. You can tell a new story? My defining moment came when I was willing to release the past, the old story, and write a new story for my life.
For years, I longed for the day when my father would knock on my door and say, “I’ve come to see my little princess.” That day never came and that day will never come. So one day, I sat down and decided that it was time to tell a new story. I could no longer allow what others did or did not do, determine what my story would be. I discovered that I had the power to change it and write a story on my own terms. My story became one of forgiveness, renewal and hope. It was my story…my love story. Except this time, I was the star and God, my Heavenly Father, was the Director.
You have that same power within you to write your story. As we choose our stories, we are also choosing our destiny. We can create stories filled with hope, with promise and with love. This is your story…this is my story…and it is our story. It really is time to tell a new story!
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."
