#GoatSwag Life at my house can be…

In the last several years my love for being a dad has grown so much. I have always loved it but as I have become more involved I see what I missed when my kids were younger. As Holly and I finish up the last few steps of being state certified therapeutic foster parents I think about what that means.

• First, I will be state certified and not in areas I thought I would be as a young adult, such as state certified mentally unstable
• Second, they are going to bring us more kids
• Third, I get to enjoy enjoying being a dad even more
• And fourth, wow how I have grown

Don't take that last one the wrong way, I have mostly grown out and not up. I am slightly heavier as a dad today as years gone by. I have grown in the spirit of love. This can be hard for Holly sometimes because while I have grown in many areas I am still very much one of the kids. Life at our house can be exciting, funny, silly, crazy, dangerous, and even down right wild. And that's just my part in it, add in 5 teens and it's a real nut house.

The other night with some quiet family time with our youngest, Maddy, I showed her an amazing new app on my phone that when you speak into it, it transforms your words to a rap, awesome right? So Maddy and I played (listen below). Mom even got in on the fun mainly to state the obvious. But this is what life should be like. There should be a silly switch for every dad out there. Maybe if dads were allowed to understand that working hard is good but being silly with your kids is also necessary life would be different for so many. Raising kids is not always easy but in the end it is always worth it. Remember if they can not act silly with you they will act silly in spite of you and that usually doesn't end well.

 
Psalm 126:2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."
