- Mark J, "Faithful" poem 

I grew up with 3 brothers and 1 sister. My sis was the baby so I spent most of my childhood around boys (I was lucky, I know). And with us guys there’s a lot of logic involved. We like to figure out how to fix things. And it drives us crazy when we discover there are things we don’t know how to fix. But having daughters is teaching me to just sit in the moment. I don’t always have to have all the answers and I don’t always have to know how to fix the situation. Sometimes loving them means just hugging them when they don’t even understand their own tears. Sometimes it means telling them how incredible I think they are even when they don’t ask for it. Sometimes, it’s apologizing for hurting their feelings though it may not seem like a big deal in my eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t even remember what we were laughing about in this pic. But I do remember we were enjoying being with each other. Ariya Faith and Jainna Grace, I hope I do well at showing you how honored I am to be your Daddy. I am also aware that, in all my humble efforts, I will fail in some way and I pray you would know your heavenly father will fill-in every area I lack. “When I am weak, then I am strong (2 Cor. 12:10)”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ___⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ___⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #therealmarkJ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #DatingDaddy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Jainnagrace⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AriyaFaith⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pornkillsloveheals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fightthenewdrug ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pornkillslove⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #liveoffline⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #christianspeaker⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fightforfreedom ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #spokenwordartist ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #singersongwritter⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #iloveJesus

She’s my favorite smile but I don’t express that. She’s gorgeous but I’m afraid to say it. She’s amazing but I don’t tell her. She’s strong but she doesn’t know I think of her this way every passing day. I obviously need to get better at verbalizing how highly I think of my queen. __ . . __ I once thought marriage was about being with someone who makes you happy. I now know it’s about God bringing wholeness to two broken people. When I’m more concerned about her needs than my own, it’s a win. I’ve got a long way to go for sure but I’m slowly learning what it means to love her as “Christ loves the church.” And she is every bit worth my best efforts. __ #AliciaJoy
