All your children will be taught by the Lord , and great will be their peace. (Isaiah 54:13 NIV)

But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. (Luke 18:16 NIV)

Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge. (Proverbs 14:26 NIV)

If there is one thing that I can give my all to Dani is to give her my love for God and hope it will grow more in her.

I will never be there for her 24/7. My life is charted in God's hands. At times I will fail to be what she needs. So with whatever time God graces me with, I would like to have that used to the fullest in cultivating the most important thing in life. I can only pray and hope for God's wisdom and guidance.

From time to time, scenarios come to mind. For obvious reasons I cannot protect Dani from the harshness of this world. My stomach churns to see how other children act at such a young age. It frightens me even more so that Dani is a girl. I've had to fend off my share of bullies, jealousy, jerks, and all those nasty sorts. How will she handle it and how do I teach her and prepare her for it?

God, calm my fears. You took care of me and got me out of predicaments at the right time. May it be the same for Dani.
