Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to all the great dads out there especially mine. At nine months old my biological father walked out of my life and was constantly in and out. At 9 years old God filled that void by giving me the best father any little girl could ask for. My stepfather Ruben. He quickly embraced me and treated my just as if I was his own. I thank him for being a father to me when he didn't have to. Because of him I have been blessed with a great life and because of him I know what its like to have a father. Thank you Daddy!

Whats a courageous father/ husband/ leader?

"The Resolution for Men"

I do solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children

I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home.

I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me.

I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength.

I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly.

I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy.

I WILL pray for others and treat them with kindness, respect, and compassion.

I WILL work diligently to provide for the needs of my family.

I WILL forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged.

I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God.

I WILL seek to honor God, be faithful to His church, obey His Word, and do His will.

I WILL courageously work with the strength God provides to fulfill this resolution for the rest of my life and for His glory.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)
