This is a motto & scripture I try to live my life by, something that means a lot and challenges me to live my life right with God because I want my girls to follow after God as well.
Last night as I was getting ready to play with Janae after dinner she asked me to play music. She wanted me to play my ipod and I asked her what she wanted to listen to? She surprised me and shocked me when she had a follow-up answer; 'Jack Johnson.'
"WHAT?" my shocking response.
"Jack Johnson, I want to listen to him!"
She knows his music and has heard me talk about him, so she wanted to hear it also.
After laughing and playing it for her, it made me realize a couple thoughts:
1) She's interested in the things I listen to.
I better keep in mind what is playing when she is around me
2) She's in tune with what I say
I need to check myself; check how I respond to certain situations, how I talk to Amy and friends and just the things I'm talking about period.
3) She is looking up to me and following my lead.
This is what I desire; for her to look up to me as her dad and follow & love God the way I do if not more. Nows my chance to represent that.
I'm challenged to be an imitator, be challenged as well; someone watching you!
