Growing as a DAD

To say that I’ve never experienced love like this would be an understatement.  I know you’re already thinking it, but I’ll go ahead and say it: my son is the smartest, cutest, most adorable baby boy on the planet, (and I would only hope that every dad feels this way about his own son)!

The feeling I get when I look at my boy and know that he’s mine…unexplainable!  Knowing that he recognizes me when I get home from work simply by the smile he gives me…unbelievable!  Understanding and being full of confidence that God has amazing plans in store for his precious life…undeniable!

It’s really crazy to think that Silas is 20 weeks old!  I’m beginning to realize what my parents mean when they say “Time flies by!” or “Seems like it was only yesterday when…”  I have a new appreciation for my amazing parents and a newfound realization of my purpose in life!  I feel so privileged that God chose me to be Brooke’s husband and Silas’ dad!  Do I occasionally feel like I’m not good enough, strong enough, or unequipped for the job? Of course!  But that’s what grows my dependency on God and His continual work in my life!  I love my family, and I’m realizing more and more each day that there’s nothing more important!
