SARAH SPEAKS: DEDICATED TO MY DADDY
Hey beautiful people!
Guess whose birthday it is today?
Well it's none other than my favorite man in the world, my daddy!
This post was supposed to be up a lot
earlier but situations out of my control brought us to where we are right
now.
My dad is an amazing person, the best
role model out there and if you've met my dad then you'd definitely agree with
me. We not only look alike but as my mom would say; I took after him in many
other ways.
This post is a tribute to him; I'll
be sharing a few things that my dad has taught me.
1. Love for God
My dad always says; hold God like an
egg because in this life we can't do anything without him. My Dad's success
today is a testament to his relationship with God and God's presence in his
life. I'm so thankful to have such a strong spiritual role model. Seriously in
another life I probably would have been a pastor's daughter, who knows maybe
it'll happen is this life.
2. Positive thinking and
words
I'm sure you've all heard of the
quote "speak things into existence", well my dad lives this. When my
dad is sick he would say I'm very strong, he always proclaims positive things
and that has really impacted on me. So much so that I try to see the positive
side of everything and constantly proclaim God promises in my life.
3. Confidence
My dad is the most confident person I
know. Though not in a cocky way just in "I know who I am and what I can do sort
of way". Growing up, my father instilled in me this self belief that I
still posses till today. I believe with a little faith in God and ourselves, we
can do anything!
4. Relationship
Thanks to my dad, I see what I want
in a relationship and family. The commitment and honesty I want in my future
partner. Thanks to the love I've seen in my dad, I know my worth and know that
I can't and won't settle for anything less than I deserve.
5. Prayer
I can't remember a time that my dad
ended a call or text without praying for me and my siblings. In fact when
trouble strikes before thinking of anything else, I pray about it or bring out
my anointing oil.
I've learnt so much more from my dad,
subconscious lessons and unconscious attitudes. All in all, I'm thankful for my father. If everyone were privileged to be raised by my parents,
this world would be a better place.
this world would be a better place.
This is me saying thank you Dad and
happy 52nd birthday!
Fun fact, my das calls me princess hence my blog title, Princess Audu.

Happy birthday to your dad. I would say the biggest lesson i have learnt from my dad is to practice kindness, love & patience. He is the patient man I know.

This is so nice, your Dad is really Dapper! No doubt you took after him. My Dad taught me to always be optimistic no matter what challenges I face, he taught me hardwork and to always have multiple sources of income, he also taught me to never feel bad when I fall, cos according to him, life is a race and we can't win all the time, we gotta win some and lose some. I love him so much. This post is great dear. Hope he is coming here to read it lol...
