OK, how's this for an open and honest post...
I am throwing it out there, I want feedback. Over the past week one thing has burdened me and it is my daughter. When we lived in Milford she had a great circle of friends. Girls that are still pretty close today. Then we moved to Batavia in the village and she was alone. No girls her age. Now we live in a more populous area of town and there are surely a ton of girls around, but that won't reap rewards until the start of school when she finds out exactly WHO lives around us.
But I know that a girl's worth is largely determined by the relationship she has with her dad. Yeah, that's me. So tips? Pointers? Help....???? I want my little girl to grow up and love Jesus. I want her to value relationships and have my relationship define those other relationships, and not her lack of relationships now to define a life time of relationships for her. Right now I'm feeling inadequate, she doesn't have that group of friends (Christian or not) that will keep her well balanced, and frankly the lack of CLOSE Christian friends concerns me greatly. I don't want the source of her self-worth to come from non-Christians... why would she be drawn to church/God in the future if it offers so little for her?
