Wow!  Today is my daughter’s 16th birthday: Shelby Denise McFarland

How can words describe the amazing feeling of accomplishment watching our baby girl grow into a young lady.

I’ll tell you this…

she’s not just another teenager with a license to drive.
She’s responsible.

she’s not just another student at Benton High School.
She’s a role model.

she’s not just another voice in the Benton High School Choir.
She’s amazing.

she’s not just another singer in the TNT Youth Band.
She’s anointed.

she’s  not just another pretty face in the crowd.
She’s beautiful.

she’s not just another daughter who takes her blessings for granted.
She’s thankful.

she’s not just another Christian who only lives for God on Sunday.
She’s committed.

she’s not just another blond that didn’t get your joke.
She’s witty.

she’s not just another face on facebook.
She’s Shelby.

Happy sweet sixteen Shelby.  I am so proud to be your dad.
