We all mess up, make mistakes, and fail. As much as we try not to, it is inevitable. Knowing that we are going to make mistakes, the most important thing for us is to know what to do with those mistakes. Recently, I had a bad day as a dad. I want to share some details from that day and what I do with failures. We cannot run from them. We must face them because when we face them, we have an opportunity to learn and grow.

As a dad, I understand how easy it is to get tied up in your kids. Our kids are dependent upon us and they require our focused attention. We can have the tendency to get so caught up in being a dad that we forget about the other person in our family, our wife. As leaders in our home, we cannot allow our kids to get in the way of our marriage. If we understand God's design for marriage, we will become better men and better fathers, but we have to make sure we value our wives above our kids.

We function in a world of societal norms. Too many people see the things they are supposed to do or supposed to become and then fixate on those things. We chase the outcome with no context or understanding of the process. When people pursue the outcome, circumventing the process, they never arrive at the outcome.
Just because you are "technically" a dad does not mean you get to bypass the process. The process we need to obsess over is relationship. Without a relationship with your kids, you aren't truly a dad. It is time for us to stop chasing the outcome, the status quo, and to start focusing on relationship.
