  • To the Father of My Children (Someday)

    poppy by miss poppy

    I don't know you. Until a short time ago, I didn't want to know you or have anything to do with you. I thought you would hurt me and use me up. But now I know that you are far more wonderful than anything I have ever imagined you could be.

    I'm not like a lot of girls, I guess. I don't have very many expectations for you. You don't have to be rich or gorgeous. You don't have to be able to captivate a crowd with your wit or fix a car without help. You don't have to be important or famous. You just have to be you. And nowadays, I'm beginning to think I'll know when I find you.

    I already know you will love God, and the first thing I'll see is Him. I already know you'll be gentle and kind and polite, just like my daddy. I know you'll be witty in that understated way, because that's what makes me feel all fluttery. I know you'll be protective and that when I'm with you I'll feel safe from the world. And I know you'll be individual, because what I love most in a man is the confidence to be himself, regardless of what everyone else wants.

    And I know you'll be a good father to our children. You won't be perfect, and I don't expect that. But you'll be perfect for me and a gift to our kids.

    It's hard to imagine sharing my life with another person or being entrusted with new lives, but I know I won't be confronting those challenges alone. Let's just be. And let's have fun. I love you.

    • About Me: I am a senior in college. I love to knit, watch K-dramas, and bake. The point of my life is to love God, and I write about the ups and downs of that journey. Philippians 3:8-11: 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
