My Dad....

With Father's Day coming this Sunday, I wanted to take time to recognize the AMAZING father that I have! This picture really does capture the essence of who my Dad is - he's fun, a cowboy, wise, discerning, caring, loving, and just an all around good guy.

The one thing that I remember and cherish most about my Dad is that for me, he was the primary discipler in my life in regards to my walk with Jesus. It was my Dad that taught me how to use the Bible, how to pray, how to seek Him for the answers I need most in my life. My Dad taught me what it means to love others unconditionally and to serve others for the sake of Jesus.

As for today, my Dad is not only my boss for work, he is a friend, a mentor, someone in whom I place a lot of trust and who has set a GREAT example for marriage for my husband and I. He has also led by example in terms of being a godly parent and role model for my kids!

Of course, he isn't perfect but in my opinion he's pretty darn close! I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for placing in the arms of a wonderful earthly father with whom I am privileged to share my birthday!!! Love you Dad!!!
