This is my first Easter as a Christian (baptized last Fall). While I have always celebrated this holiday, this year has special meaning. I’ve heard the story of Jesus, but I never quite understood His true sacrifice as he bore our sin on the cross. Simply kneeling and praying for Jesus to guide me and shower his mercy on me has changed my life forever. His forgiveness is available to all who ask and for those who proclaim Him our King. Jesus died so we could all know Him and have access to our Heavenly Father. The resurrection is proof that Jesus’ can resurrect anything in your life: marriage, family, friendships, finances, and your health. He is Risen. ✝️

I can’t believe our oldest daughter, Soleil, is already 5 years old today! Time really does fly, and we are so proud of the young girl she’s growing up to be. She is the best older sister to her little bro and baby sis. It’s so fun to watch her include Zane in her activities, and care for Zariah with all her heart. I know these next 5 years will fly by, so I want to cherish every moment with her and I just don’t want her to grow up. 🥹 I’m so proud to be her dad, and she’s the greatest daughter I could ever ask for! I love you so much, Soleil! ❤️ Love, Daddy #daddysgirl #fatherhood #fatherdaughter #happybirthday #birthdaygirl #fatheranddaughter

You’ll never be ready to become a Father, until you are one. ⬇️ more below ⬇️ Juliet and I waited until our mid-30’s to start having children. In my 20’s I never thought I would have kids, and once we got married I still didn’t feel ready. Nothing will prepare you for Fatherhood outside of actual experience. There is no user manual or playbook. But there are endless resources on how to provide a loving and nurturing home for your littles. I’m far from a perfect Father, but one area I’m really working on is Patience. I have a tendency to rush the process of getting through a task with my kids rather than enjoying the moment. Whether it be braiding Soleil’s hair, building rockets with Zane, or changing Zariah’s diaper… I’m more present now than before and focusing on slowing down, taking a breath and growing WITH my kiddos. Our children hear and see everything we do. It’s my goal to be a strong, male role model for all my kids… while also providing them a home where they always feel safe, protected, and loved. I still raise my voice at times and can be short tempered with my wife. But writing my intentions here will hold me accountable to always do better. The more quality time I can share with each child individually, will give them more confidence and a true feeling of self-worth. We are their whole world. Men, Fatherhood is a great responsibility.
