Miley Says Goodbye?

I have to admit it. I absolutely love watching Hannah Montana with my girls. Who am I kidding? I’d watch it without the girls. Yeah, yeah, I know. I am surrounded by Miley Cyrus haters. You haters can tell me that her voice sounds horrible until you are blue in the face, but I’m not listening. More importantly, I could care less. It’s not her voice that sucked me into the show several years ago. It was her daddy. And speaking of daddy’s… just so you all know, Emily and Mia’s daddy watches Hannah Montana with all three of his girls; me being the third. Every great daddy knows the important of stepping into their little girl’s world.

This evening, we watched the conclusion of “Miley Says Goodbye?” Miley tells her daddy that she wants to move back to Tennessee. He finds and purchases the perfect ranch as Miley begins to second guess her decision. She starts realizing that something just doesn’t seem right and she doesn’t know what to do. Her brother, Jackson, encourages her to take her horse, Blue Jeans, out for a ride. He reminds her that she does her best thinking then. While she is out riding Blue Jeans, her daddy shows up and she begins to talk to him about all of her mixed feelings. He proceeds to tell her that he knew that the change she thought she needed wasn’t the change that she really needed; that’s why he bought a ranch house on the beach just 10 miles away from their current home.

I've heard it said that the best parents make it their business to know their kids better than they know themselves. God’s like that, isn’t He? He always knows what we really need even when we think we know. Many time while we are busy asking for one thing, He’s preparing for us what we really need.
