This year’s Father’s Day for rapper and businessman Romero Miller was what he calls “an ethereal experience.”
On Father’s Day, the actor announced that he was rebaptized alongside his two daughters, River Rose (4) and Winter Snoh (3), whom he shares with his fiancée, Drew Sangster.
The experience, Miller says, marked a new chapter in his faith journey and brought him a renewed sense of purpose.
“The closer I got to God, the further I realized I was. Getting rebaptized back home down south as an adult alongside my daughters was an ethereal experience—a true Father’s Day gift that I will never forget,” he wrote in an Instagram post.
“It took me 36 years of reading the Bible to realize that Jesus doesn’t want us to be perfect; He just wants us to be NEW,” Miller continued.
Miller shared that he held off on the rebirthing process because he still had chains “that I thought would take years to break.”
“Any day before this baptism was the old me. Doing things our own way never adds up. True transformation starts when you stop listening to the world and prioritize your relationship with the one who chooses you over and over, flaws and all, and that’s GOD,” the girl dad continued.
He encouraged his followers to look at life’s tribulations as a redirection. “Every storm isn’t meant to ruin you; some are meant to rinse and redirect you. The clearest message I received was simple: JUST LET GO (Proverbs 3:5-6).”
A spiritial renewal hasn’t been the only change for Miller. He recently had to learn how to parent a child with a chronic condition. Miller’s eldest daughter, River Rose, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 18 years old.
“Watching doctors rush to stabilize my tiny daughter, seeing her hooked up to needles and machines without understanding what was happening, was something I’ll never forget,” he said to BeyoneType1. “As a father, all I could think was: why can’t this be me? I wanted to switch places.”
His experience with River’s condition pushed him to release a children’s book, “My Little Rocket.”
