Proud of my Daughter

Came across this on my computer today. It is a paragraph my daughter wrote about herself (used with permission).

Sydney 03- 04 -09

A Paragraph About Me

Well first I want to say I am good in school and love it. Why? Easy I love learning and I love challenges, and I’m pretty awesome at them too.
Another quality about me is I am very strong willed. Now that can be good and bad. It’s good when I have my head in the right direction or if I am doing the right thing, because I won’t let anything past me, or any other ideas that aren’t the best. When it is bad I am just plain stubborn. When it is good though it brings out a very good quality in me, my leadership. I am a very good leader thanks to my strong will, but like my strong will it can get me into trouble
Mostly by my big mouth. All of the last three qualities I mentioned can get me into trouble can make me a hero also, and it is very obvious that I need some work in both areas. But no matter what mood I am, or if I’m on the negatives or positives, they are a gift from god.


This makes me very happy. One of the main things I have had to do in marriage and adulthood in general is work and grow in self awareness, specifically on the emotional level.

My wife has referred to me as emotionally illiterate. And basically that is (still) true, but I have come along way.

We do this as a married couple and we also work on this as a family.

I'm very proud of Sydney. She is a very special and unique person. Just ask all of our fellow Crusade staff! She has giftings that will take her very far in life and she will be a great leader and will affect change (we pray that it will be positive change). It makes me happy that she knows she is talented but also knows her weaknesses and short comings.

I'm very proud to be her dad and often stand in amazement of her in spite of the hugh shortcomings of her dad.

We recently went to see one of our ministry partners as she finished her low-rider custom job. She started the National Low Riders Assoc. as a ministry opportunity to reach people in car clubs here in LA.

She has had an amazing ministry and God has done some great things in these groups.
