Hi, J.... You are so blessed to have a husband and a child! And, the best gift that you can give to your child is the knowledge of a Father in Heaven who loves her! Religion is important, because you surround yourself with other believers while you're drawing yourself closer to God and learning what He wants from you; but even more important than religion, is your and your child's RELATIONSHIP with God and Jesus. When you LOVE God, then everything that hurts Him will hurt you, and everything that pleases Him will please you. You will find yourself changing your way of thinking because you don't want to hurt the One Who loves you. Your daughter has a heart that needs to be nurtured, and opened to God's love. Hopefully, you will find a church that will embrace you, that will make you feel "at home", and that will help you to grow in your relationship with our loving Father. But, may I suggest???? One day, real soon, like today, Thank God for the gift that He has given to you, and offer your daughter back to Him as your offering. After all, she does belong to Him. I don't know how to tell you, that He will watch over her when you are not around, and even when you are. He will protect her in ways that you could not even imagine! My children are now 37 and 38, and I could not even start to tell you the accidents that He has seen them through, the miracles that He has done in their lives (and mine), and the ways that He proves His presence..... I wish you well, and will keep you in my prayers. Your 'battle' may seem uphill, but the pleasures that you will experience will more than make up for your experience. If there is anything more that we can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask. I just gave away a box full of books for children... wish I had known just a month earlier! God bless you, and your family!
