Soon I will get to meet you face to face for the first time. Your mother has been experiencing the early stages of labor the last couple of days, and both of us are very excited that we will soon, finally, hold you in our arms.
I'm realizing that God made pregnancy a 9 month growth process because there is a growing process that needs to take place in the parents as well.
There will be a small number of large moments in your life, where the depth of your manhood will be tested. I find myself at one of those large moments, about to be a father for the first time. To be honest, I'm a little scared. But I suppose most of the big moments in a man's life are a little scary.
I ask God daily for strength, that I may be a good father for you. A father who loves faithfully, provides fully, and disciples honestly. There will be times when I fall short of this goal, and I will need to ask you for forgiveness. I will be learning some things along with you.
So yes, I'm a little scared. But I'm a lot excited.
See you soon.

The Reason
Although you are still a few months from being born, and years away from reading and understanding these posts, I am compelled to write my thoughts for you now.
I hope to see you through all of life, watching you grow into the strong man I know you will be. But tomorrow isn't guaranteed, And so I need to tell you a few things while I'm thinking of them...
