I have two little guys that always follow me around, emulating my every move. Well, actually I have one little guy who does that and a second little guy who does everything the first little guy does.
To be honest, this phenomenon scares the crap out of me. Probably because I know more than anyone the propensity for evil in my own heart. Without the drawn out sob story, lets just say I didn’t grow up with someone to model my life after - and this has left me wondering what kind of a father I will be.
On top of this, life is fast. I know that everyone said time would fly with the boys, and they were right. But it seems faster than I expected. Maybe it has to do with the tiny bit of margin that we have in our lives, but being intentional about being a good and Godly role model for my guys seems something I rarely succeed at.
Yet I forge on, because I know that any effort I give will be mountains more than I ever received, and with the grace of One beckoning me on I know that there is always someone who is the Father I long to be and the one that I too can seek to be like.
