HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY KEITH JR. (KJ)!!! WARNING: LENGTHY but WORTH IT :-). The disquisition....lol. Awh man, sigh! FB, please assist me in wishing one of the most vivacious, loving, irrepressible, and precocious sons that a father could EVER ask for a happy and blessed 4th birthday! As you all may already be aware of, I am a proud father and am never afraid, refrained, or timid about embracing whats mine and what the Lord has gifted me with in this boy. As his father and through prayer, I already knew that he would in fact be a he before the doctors knew and prior to anyone else knowing. Ill never forget that day while sitting at my desk at work and my wife calling me stating, Yeah, yeah, yeah, YOU HAVE YOUR BOY!.....***Big Cheesin***. My world had changed once again forever, but I knew that I was born for this, well-equipped for this, and naturally and spiritually prepared for this. As a father, I would encounter nothing that Christ hadnt already instilled in me as priest, pastor, husband, and a father in my home. The most important role and position that a man could ever have is that of a father; this should certainly be more evident as we behold the happenings of our time. It is astonishingly breathtaking and humbling to see yourself in another and realize that their well-being depends solely on you (as a father) and the Lord. I awoke this morning and was quickly reminded in my spirit of Genesis 49:1-28. That very first verse resonated loudly with me in my heart, when Jacob BLESSED his sons before his death. He would not/could not die until he pronounced DESTINY over his boys, even as men. Then Jacob called for his sons and said: Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come. Then, I thought about the many fathers who for various reasons refuse to, choose to, or perhaps cannot be in their childrens lives. I thought about the many children who never requested to be here but yet have to endure the harsh reality of navigating this life without a father.....without the masculine voice thats able to make sense of and calm so many storms. It sat upon my heart even more heavily to know that some fathers are still physically alive and well but are silent, inactive, and non-present in the lives of their seed. I begin to say a brief prayer and intercede that the Lord would wake up those fathers or at least create a situation where a father figure would willingly emerge. I prayed that a father would be present to speak destiny over them, to guide them, to add value to them, and to show and warn them of things to come. A father figure emerged with me (naturally and spiritually)...several....and I am immeasurably grateful for those men who filled in un-begrudgingly and sought nothing in return. I am eternally grateful! To my boy (KJ).....as if he could read this :-) I just wanted to make known to the world that I love you, cherish you, and praise God for your mother and the labor she endured to get you here to me....to us. AS LONG AS THE LORD WILLS SON, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE AN INHERITANCE IN YOUR FATHERS HOUSE. .
