What One Day at a Time means to me
​
As I was reading through the book of Exodus, I came to the story of Manna and Quail From Heaven (Exodus 16), and God spoke to me through this story. This certainly was not the first time I had read this particular story, but given the challenges in my life then, God had given me exactly what I needed to persevere from this story.
This story lays bare God's cadence for our lives. We should always be present-minded and focusing on the now....the today. We often get distracted dwelling on the past which comes with regrets stifling the healing process. We also tend to focus our minds and hearts on the future which brings about anxiety.
Exodus 16 tells us that God provides for us each day. Exodus 16 also tells us that we have to wake up and seek his provision each day. Furthermore, we are to trust that what He has given us for the day is sufficient to get us through the day.
My mission at One Day at a Time Ministries is to contribute to the strengthening of the family by providing confidence-building education and God-honoring relationships to fathers. Our mission is super simple....To keep men in the lives of their children.

About Me
Like many people, I grew up in a single-family household watching my mom do absolutely everything to provide us with a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, and food in our stomachs. My father showed very little to no interest in my sister and me and he certainly did nothing to help my mom.
You may think this to be a sad story and it is on several fronts. For many years, I secretly struggled with the fact that my father had no interest in me......BUT GOD! God put good men in my life who loved me and taught me. God turned my mess into a ministry! I'm thankful for every part of my journey... especially the tough times. Those tough times have shaped me into the man that I am today.
God has put it on my heart to lock arms with other men to 1) extend our leadership as men outside of our own homes to other children and 2) equip new fathers for the lifelong fatherhood.
