A girl’s guide to God. My story isn’t new, unique or extraordinary.  It is actually quite ordinary and all too familiar to women. Girl with daddy issues meets man…many, actually.  Whether in her personal or professional life, she works hard for acceptance and approval but never finds it.  Just glimpses here and there. Words that appease or actions that may meet the immediate need for recognition come in spurts but she remains wounded.  Scarred. Always trying to outperform or be good enough for the affection she craves but consistently falls short. Why she believes the acceptance is necessary, even vital, is based on cultural as well as religious conditioning.  Years of trying to figure out why the message she is being told does not align with how she feels about herself or about other girls she knows.
