Happy birthday to this guy, my dad!! The big 6-0!! Wow!
Over the last 8, almost 9 years, that I've been in full-time missions with YWAM San Diego/Baja, my dad has been one of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders.
I was terrified when I met him for his birthday dinner way back in 2006 to tell him I was quitting my "real" job to move to Mexico.
My dad has always been a business man looking out to provide for his family and I was so sure he was going to talk me out of going especially since I finally had a "steady paycheck" and insurance.
But instead, he looked at me and said that if that is where God was leading then I needed to go!
From that moment on, he & my stepmom have been some of the hands that God has used to meet my physical, emotional & financial needs.
Thank you daddy, for being obedient, for letting me go, & for being there for me!! Our relationship hasn't always been the greatest but I'm so glad that God restores and gives back "the years the locusts have taken".
I love you!
I wish I could be there to celebrate you but I'll eat a taco on your behalf!
