As I sit here in Northern Ireland I am reminded at what being a daughter looks like. I am a daughter to the God who created the heavens and the earth. He has created me in His image to be known by Him and to make him known.
I have been on crutches the last 2 weeks which has been very trying. I am someone who has to be doing something at all times. So when my team mates were helping this amazing lady move into a new house I really had to trust The Lord had a plan for me. I was not going to be able to be much of a help to this process being on crutches. So I ended up staying back at the YWAM base here in Northern Ireland during the day and encouraging the students and staff members. As I was just making myself available to those around me I was amazed at what God was doing through a simple conversation. At the end of each day though I physically couldn't even carry my dinner plate to the table I knew that I had fulfilled what God had for me that day. We got the opportunity to pray for a guy named Rob who had cancer and later that day he went to his doctor and discovered his cancer was completely gone! We planned a night for youth to come and worship and receive pray as well. God is so faithful in bringing people out of their sin and championing them to know their true identity In him. I am so thankful for the experience of seeing God move in Northern Ireland.
So what does being a daughter look like? What I have learned is that in order to live fully I must look at my father. My father speaks to me and I love to listen to him. A daughter loves the sound of her dad's voice and is beyond eager to do as he says. A daughters response comes out of a place of joy and love to do as her father says. Being a daughter is simply knowing who your father is. I am so glad to have a father who loves me like no one else can.
