Why a blog?

I love to write. There's something freeing about it. Something special. Something unique. Something that allows me to express what I'm thinking, feeling, and how God is moving me through the daily ins and outs of my life's routines. I typically draw spiritual lessons from the "mundaneness" of everyday life, and posts all of my babblings onto Facebook.

I'll be the first to admit it. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on Facebook. #I'mworkingonthat
In attempts to share just a little bit of what God's teaching me on a regular basis combined with the fact that my earthly Daddy inspires me and encourages me more than anything to write, I started this blog. Hence, the name "a girl and her daddy."

On some occasions, you'll see my posts along with my dad's well-timed, wisdom-packed responses to them. But, in most instances, you'll simply see the inner workings of who I am through my writings. I hope my writing encourages you, gives you a fresh sense of perspective, and mostly, inspires you to become the woman or man that God's uniquely designed you to be.

When Emotions Dance

When the clock strikes midnight, it’s time to get home.  But what we learn at the ball tonight, we need to make known.  Life’s not a party. It’s more of a dance. And thankfully, none of it is left to chance.  There IS an Orchestrator.  He chooses the songs - He handles the beat.  We simply decide what to do with our feet. For now, we sit at our table, content in our seats. We watch all the people.  We converse.  Laugh. And Repeat.  In walks Joy. (We all knew she was invited.)  Her presence alone makes everyone excited.  She’s an old friend, a sweet soul we all know.  She goes straight to the dance floor and (of course) steals the show.  Then suddenly, Joy steps off to the side.  It seems that something threw her off her stride.  It was him.  Everything changed when he entered in.  A sloppy, stinking young man walked through the door.  (People wonder if he’s ever been here before.)  With dirty cloth...

For inquiring minds that would like to know… here's our story.

For some of you in my life, you've been asking, praying, and waiting to see something noteworthy happening in my dating life. So have I. Because I don't exactly know where to start, I'll simply begin at the beginning. Jeff and I both went to school together at Trinity Christian Academy here in Jacksonville from kindergarten to twelfth grade. From first grade to sixth grade, we had all the same teachers. Because our last names are so similar alphabetically (Hazard and Hill), we were seemingly ALWAYS sitting next to each other. Seriously. Always. Around. Each. Other. haha… For those of you that know me well or have known me for a long time, you know that God's done quite the work in my life over the years in chipping away some (note: not all) of my childhood sassiness and giving me a sweet spirit in its place. However, for those of you that knew me then, you would readily agree that I was quite the "over-confident little girl" (to quote my daddy). ...

Fish Bowl Christianity

Fish Bowl Christianity Unlike many people, I never had a "family pet" as I was growing up. Never, ever. My mom was (and very-much-so still is) allergic to everything under the sun. Aaaand I had more siblings than your average American family, but without quite reaching Dugger-family-status. (or coming anywhere even close, whew!… side note: could you even imagine?!) These factors, added in with the fact that my parents spent every extra dime they had on private education for all five of us kids, really just weren't all-that-conducive to including a family pet of any sort. But don't feel sorry for me. I don't feel like I was jipped or anything. I love my family, and the memories I can still recall from my childhood are nothing short of classic. Pet or no pet. When I "grew up" and moved to Lynchburg about four years ago, I tossed around the idea of getting a pet. You know, just to see what it would be like. Nothing huge or fancy or gross or high-mainte...
