There is a blessing in seeking You first.
There is a blessing in putting You first.
There is a blessing in looking to You first.
There is a blessing in going to You first.
There is a blessing in praying to You first.
There is a blessing and peace that surpasses all understanding when we seek You first.
The Journey continues. ……..
When I think about where You brought me,
When I think about what You taught me.
When I think about how You bring me through,
When I think about how I am nothing without You.
When I think about how You hold me up,
When I think about how You have walked and talked with me when the valleys were rough.
When I think about who You have made me to be,
When I think about how You are all I need.
I feel Your hand upon my life,
I feel you taking away what is wrong and making it right.
I feel blessed and I feel complete,
I feel am overflow of love when I think about how far You have brought me.

Life is full of powerful transitions.
Some transitions are more powerful than others but nevertheless move you, impact you, and change your life.
As we journey throughout life we can learn from the transitions.
If we are patient,
If we prepare,
and if we are purposeful,
To learn, grow and being more fulfilled throughout the transition.
We can receive and appreciate the Overflow that life transitions brings.
The emotional and mental deposits that we draw from through these transitions,
Can be replenished and give us a spiritual, emotional, and mental surplus that can and will carry us through our next powerful transition.
So grateful for God carrying us through one powerful life transition at a time.
The Journey continues. …..
I am here on the train,
Traveling home without you,
And I am sad.
Because for the past 18 years
You have been my priority, my concern, and my responsibility
Me and your Father have strived to raise you up and to give you the best that we knew to give.
I feel like I am leaving a part of me behind,
I feel sad because I will miss you.
However Son, I am so proud of you.
I knew this train ride would never be easy.
But I know that this time would come.
I pray and believe that God will watch over you and keep you,
I know that God will never leave or forsake you,
And I will be looking for you to do great things.
I know you can.
This is all part of the process,
And as I seek to understand and honor my feelings,
My love for you is so great,
And leaving you is not easy.
Love always
Mommy

God will do what I cannot do,
I am standing on the promise, walking in faith,
Believing that God will watch over you.

My son is a man and I will shout it aloud.

The Journey continues…..
I remember when you was only a day old,
It was just me and you in the hospital room,
And we were having a quiet moment,
I was holding this miracle of life in my arms,
As I was staring at you and you are staring back at me,
So many feelings, I was feeling at that time,
Joy and Happiness,
Humility and Peace,
Anxiety and Uncertainty,
And even Doubt and Fear,
As I held my new little baby in my arms,
I made some promises to God,
I made promises to myself,
And I made promises to you.
I promised to always be there for you,
And I am so glad I have kept my promise to you.
And I will continue as
The Journey continues……..
This time is appointed,
This time is anointed.
This time is meant to be,
This time is destiny.
This time is a time of happiness,
This time is a time of being blessed.
This time is God ordained,
This time is God arranged.
This time we have anticipated,
This time is here, we have made it.
The Lord has let His light and His miracles shine,
Thank You Lord for being so good,
Thank You for this time.
The Journey continues. …….
From my womb, when I carried you I felt that there was something great that would emerge,
And when you came literally bursting through the world, it let me know to get ready for you.
Because even then you appeared ready to go beyond the limited space in my womb.
One of the first things you did when you were born was you stretched out.
And when I saw how long you were, I said wow, it is amazing that this powerful, strong, beautiful and amazing life was inside of me.
And today, You continue to stretch beyond me.
And as I embrace you as you stretch to higher heights and deeper depths,
I thank God for allowing you to go the places, me and your Father haven’t been.
Because you have stretched,
We are stretching,
You have inspired us,
Remain inspired and continue to stretch.
Remember you are” Called to Greatness”
Do not shrink but stretch.
I Love you and I am Proud of you,
My Son.
The Journey continues. ……
You have made it here,
You have worked hard to get here,
You have dreamed about getting here,
How do you feel?
Now that you’re here.
It has been a process getting here,
It has been a sacrifice getting here,
It has been a journey getting here,
Tell me how do you feel?
Now that you are here.
Work hard, Study long, and Do your best,
In life, in your endeavors, as you go forward,
Now that you are here.
The Journey continues. …….
