Adam

So many Dads missing in action. I'm a single dad but not in the typical sense. More than not children tend to live with their mom. My son lives with me. I'm not bragging because real heros stay with their child's mom. I'm not not a relationship expert. I'm a single dad trying to raise a son who can learn to be faithful in every one of his relationship. I believe if done right theirs God and two parents that love God and raise their child up in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

We are not born to be faithful. Faithfulness is learned. Good habits and bad habits are taught. Some times these hadits good and bad r learned by default. At other times mostly repeatable behavior is heard and observed over and over again. I watched my son numerous times wondering about certain behaviors and atitudes. I was surprised when he told me you do it. I wasn't surprised what I did but that he copied me and resolved dad did it so will I. That was scary for me.

Because I didn't want me. I wasn't trying to raise me another me. I wanted a 5 year old obedient child that did exactly what I told him. Believe it!!! I kept seeing me that had to change. Children manifest their environment.
