I remember when my wife told me she was pregnant with our first child. I was so scared. I wanted to be a father, but I was very afraid. I didn't know if I knew how to be a dad. But as I started the journey of fatherhood, the Lord showed me that everything that I needed to be a good father was already in me. And as the months passed, I began to see that I was getting the job done, with the Lord's help. Any guy can father a child. However as a man affirms his manhood within himself, he takes care of his children...even when it seems like the odds are against him. I can see how many men run off when the children are born. Fear of failure is a monster, but it's no excuse. Believe in yourself. You have the ability to be a great father...but you must try hard and consistently!! God Bless!! 8-29-10
