Appreciate the Big One-Eight (18)

Appreciate indeed! This is the last entry for my 2012 Love Dare.
Today, after taking a shower, instead of leaving my towel on the floor for my dad to pick up like I usually do, I hung it up myself.

Ordinarilly I post a few lyrics or a link to a song. I couldn't find a video for this song so I'm posting all the lyrics instead.

Finish Strong by Charles Billingsly:

Lately I've been feeling
Like this race is running me
And I'm fighting to stay focused
On all that I believe
And somewhere in the distance
There's a prize that I can win
And I'm more determined now more than I've ever been

I want to finish strong
Faithful to the Father though the road is long
Crossing that line and still I'm pressing on
Oh, I want to finish strong
Oh, I want to finish strong

I can still remember
What it felt like at the start
When the passion for the mission
Was a fire in my heart
And the further that it takes me
It gets easier to see
The best part of the journey now
Is still in front of me

It's not about how fast I run
It's not about how far I've come
It's all about the moment
When I hear My child, well done

Seventeen Ain't So Sweet

Yesterday was my dad's birthday.
We got him an ice cream cake and I was nice to him all day, partially because of his birthday, partially because of the love dare.
