Daddy!

So, this weekend was a good weekend at church (Crossroads Florence, KY)! Dennis and I serve on the production team once a month at Crossroads. What that means is, I run the lyrics and any other slides being used for the weekend services. Dennis actually runs the service from his control booth. This weekend was part of a series called Daddy Issues. It was the third week of the series, but for Dennis and I the first weekend we had been a part of any services.

I heard a song this weekend, I am guessing it was written by the Crossroads music team called, "Good, good father". I loved it! I am not sure, maybe part of it was because I just lost my dad in May of this year, or maybe just because it was a great song to harmonize to. Not sure why, but i loved it! Actually the entire service was cool. They showed a clip from the Patriot and from Pursuit of Happiness. Both of them nearly brought me to tears. Why you ask? Because I could see my dad in both of the roles.

If someone had ever, ever tried to harm me in some way, My dad would have come for me with everything he had. I could see him loading up his guns and taking out every one who had harmed me. I can also see my dad as that dad that would do everything in his power to make sure I never looked down upon myself but instead just knew that he loved me and I was his good child.

Anyways, the words of just the chorus were, "Your a good, good father, it's who you are, it's who you are, its who you are." "And I'm loved by you, it's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am." It was in the perfect key, the perfect sing along song. Not sure why I loved it so much, but may be it was because I thought of my daddy and I wish I had known it when he was alive so I could have sung it to him. He was a good, good father and I was very much loved by him!

The service was very good. It made me cry to myself, a lot. I miss my daddy. More than I ever thought I would. I am so very thankful that I know he loved me and I loved him. I don't have Daddy Issues. For those of you who do. I pray that you can find a way to forgive them and move on with your life. I pray that you know that God as your father is not necessarily like your physical dad was. He's a good, good father! And you are loved by him!
