I almost forgot!

So, there's a tradition I have for Wednesdays that I totally was about to not do! So, I know it's belated but here is my next person to talk about....

So, today I get to pick on...I mean, talk about....my Dad. Now, I know a lot of guys that really don't appreciate their Dads and think that they are just guys who lay down the law and don't really care. Well, I'll admit, I was there myself not way too long ago. But lately, God's been showing me that Dad is a lot more right than I gave him credit for.

For the longest time growing up, I used to think that my Dad could never be able to see what I was dealing with since he didn't live it out. I thought, "well Dad, back when you were my age you didn't have to deal with (insert problem at said time)!" Haha, boy was I ever wrong. I failed to realize, and still do sometimes today, that the date doesn't matter. The fact is, a lot of mess I deal with, he dealt with. A saying he loves to use is, "been there, done that, got the t-shirt." It took a long time to realize but my Dad was right. He had been there, and he can now tell me how to work through stuff and learn from it.

The biggest thing I love my Dad for is how he can be a rock for me in times of need. I used to hate opening up to people all the way (working on that one) and wouldn't even go to him. I'd have issues with other people, myself, even God. But, I learned in time that by going to my Dad I was able to see that he went through the same stuff and could help me out. He's not there to judge, he's there cause he loves me and wants the best for me. Reminds me of another Father in my life...

Here's to you Dad!

For my Dad I will add one of my favorite quotes that he loves to use...
