I am a father. I am Noah's father. I am also the father of an unborn baby whose sex is presently unknown to us. Being a father is incredible. It is incredible because its fun, but its also incredible because the task of being a father is incredible. It is huge. My son needs a father. My son must have a father. Having a father is crucial to his development. This makes my role incredible.
Being a father is far more than just a being biological contributor. Anyone can do that. Being a father is far more than being the guy who works all day then comes home and crashes on the couch. Being a father is far more than being the guy who buys their kids everything they want just to get them out of his hair. Being a father is so much more.
Being a father is teaching and training your child about life. Being a father is devoting time to pour into your child's life. Being a father is helping mommy get all the things done she needs in order to keep things running smoothly. Being a father is sitting on the floor and playing crazy games. Being a father is waking up at the crack of dawn to comfort and bring nourishment. Being a father is acting like a fool just to see those eyes light up with a big smile because it takes your breath away. Being a father is singing ridiculous songs because you love to hear that sweet laugh. Being a father is laying on your face begging for Jesus to save their souls one day. Being a father is teaching your children about the Heavenly Father, and asking God to help you model Him. Being a father is being there. Being a father is awesome!!
I woke up this morning proud to be a father. I love being a father. I just pray I will be the best at being Noah's father. I have adopted a Scripture for my son's life that I pray for him regularly. I pray that this will be the reality of his life. It is Genesis 6:9....
"Noah was a righteous man, blameless among his contemporaries; Noah walked with God."

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool!
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle. That's not the point. Pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
