"I Don't Like God!"

JJ: "What are we doing today?"
Lisa: "We are going to church."
JJ: "I don't want to go to church.  I don't like God."
Lisa: "Why don't you like God?"
JJ: "Because he took my daddy away."

We explained that God didn't take her daddy away.  Her daddy and mommy's choices made it so she couldn't be with them right now.  We also explained that God told us to take care of her because He loves her and He wants her to have a daddy and a mommy.

We talked about more but those were some of the bigger points.  This is getting really sad to watch things crumble away for this little girl.

Cinderella?

We were listening to this song "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman and thinking about our bio daughter and how little time we have to enjoy her before she's gone to make her own family. For now, she's my little Cinderella that Daddy's going to cherish and love until she gets her own man to cherish and respect her.

Then we thought about JJ.

Unless a miracle happens in her parents, she's going to need a permanent placement. And I'm thinking about all the songs and dances he doesn't want to have with her. She isn't going to get those. And will she even be given the chance to end up as someone's pure Cinderella?
