I used to pray for times like this ❤️🥲

Playing together as father and son is so much fun, but not only that it’s also so foundational. Some of the most important lessons in life are not learned but lived. More than just book smarts I want to build up my son to be a man of courage, confidence, and humility.

As my his father, it is both my privilege and responsibility to teach, encourage, and challenge with patience and practice to grow in to the man God has made him to be.

These days are so so special, and I am doing my best to soak it all in.

Fasting for Intimacy with God

Sis, I didn’t know what to do going into this fast. I researched and researched. (because I love to have everything planned out) I prayed and watch sermons. I listened to podcast and my Christian rap playlist. Fasting is starving your flesh to feed your spirit. I spent majority of my fast

How to balance school, sports, friends/fam & Jesus

Put the most important thing in your day FIRST. Which SHOULD be Jesus. Get in the secret place in the beginning of your day even if your tired and it’s early. If God is a priority to you, you will make time for Him. Wake up 15-20 minutes earlier than you usually would. Pray that the Holy Spirit

YOU’RE OUTGROWING THE LIFE YOU USED TO PRAY FOR

A lot has changed. The things you used to want… Don’t excite you the same anymore. The people you used to chase… Don’t have the same access anymore. The version of you that settled… Is disappearing. Because growth changes you. What used to be enough isn’t enough anymore.
