crap.
i had this really great idea for a blog based on this book i read. i just finished it a couple of days ago.
it's called Imaginary Jesus by Matt Mikalatos.
it was crazy good.
like literally, life altering good.
i don't think I've ever felt that way about a book before. let alone a Christian book!
(not that Christian books are bad or anything but i have a hard time relating to cheesy books that tell me to "court" rather than date and other things of the sort)
but this book wasn't about dating (or not dating).
it was written like a novel in order to help me "find Jesus" so to speak.
anyway...i borrowed it from my job and then returned it without getting all the little quotes i wanted (all i have are page numbers).
whatever. just read the book yourself.
it's kind of amazing.
as for Father's day.
i didn't get to do anything super special because i had to work all day but i did get to spend time with my family.
they're pretty great.
i was sitting in Joe's Crab Shack with them arguing, laughing, making fun of each other and making bets.
i honestly couldn't ask for a better set.
my mother...although I'll deny it until I'm dead, she seriously gave me ALL of her personality.
we're exactly the same person. i understand her and i like to make her mad just to watch her get angry but it's cuz i love her so much. I'm EXTREMELY lucky that i have a mom who i can tell anything to. she's my friend and i know it's not that way for a lot of people and I'm super thankful for her.
my brother...he's freaking hilarious. i don't know when he all of a sudden became someone i actually like being around but I'm so glad it happened. he still bugs me (in true little brother fashion) but he knows how to make me laugh and i couldn't have been blessed with a better sibling to get in trouble with.
my father...homeboy should be getting a BUTTload of jewels in his crown when he gets to heaven for being able to put up with me. I'm loud, and sarcastic, and messy but he loves me like no other. he's dorky and i love it. he treats me like the daddy's girl that i am and knows how to calm me down when i get all crazy and i love him more than words can express. i am so so so BLESSED to have him as my daddy and am so glad i could celebrate him today.
I've had a few epiphanies/Jesus smacking me over the head with things i should have realized a long time ago.But those are for another time.
