It was not all rainbows and unicorns. We didn't know how to be married. We didn't know how to communicate with each other. We didn't know how to make our relationship a priority.

We're still learning and growing.

“I just have a path of intentionality that sets up the odds in your favor. And again, you can't control your son's heart, but you can fight for it. And this is a plan to fight for your son's future.

And without it, I think you're left to chance and you’re left to the world.”

You're the parent. God put you in that role for a reason and you might not know the exact thing to say or do.... but got to be there. You got to be present.
