A Man

 He rides a dirt bike

 He's a hunter

 He fishes

He even builds bridges

He's a man.

But you know what really makes him a man?  He is surrendered.  Surrendered to God, fully.  Shad has given himself, his job, his family and even his leisure activities to God.  He has allowed God to make him a loving husband and father.  He has allowed God to make him more sensitive, more loving and more focused on his family than all the things pictured above and thats what makes him a man.  He's not afraid to tell his daughter how beautiful she looks and hug his boy.  He's not afraid to come home from building bridges to bathe his kids and get them ready for bed.  He's does not hesitate to tell me that he loves me.  These are the things that make Shad a true man because he is no longer his own, but belongs to God.  I am so proud of the man that he is and look forward to watching him grow more and more.  And I thank God for him every day.

He's a man.
