It’s been a few months since I launched my blog.. A LOT has changed in these past few months!

I turned 25.. I started college AGAIN. I did a lot of soul searching and changed a lot. I started a new job that I absolutely love and was something I didn’t know I would enjoy doing. So, here we go! Here’s my advice to you. Here’s an introduction to the new me..

I didn’t know if 25 was gonna be my year.. To be honest, I was kind of nervous to turn 25.. I knew birthdays aren’t as exciting after you turn 21, but I just knew 25 was going to be dreadful. I turned 25, and I finally feel like I have found myself. I had been praying for god to change my life around. Make me a better person, more graceful, etc. I am that person more than ever. I cut back on drinking, but I still can throw them back with the best of them, but I don’t find joy in going out and getting black out drunk like I was doing. I find joy in spending my weekends at home, usually on the couch with my sweet little family, or you can usually find me at my brothers house on his couch or at his kitchen table.

Family, I cannot say this enough has been hands down my biggest accomplishment this year. My relationship with my siblings has grown so much. I literally talk to my sister every day. I am so far with how far we’ve came in our relationship this year. I love watching our kids growing up together and creating bonds that will last forever.

School, I started school about a month ago. I really enjoy learning everything so far.. It’s been so rewarding finding a college that is so supportive and a total 360 from the college I was originally going to. I am currently enrolled to obtain my bachelor of science in human sciences with an emphasis on trauma. I plan on graduating in 2023, and I am so excited to see where my future takes me. I’m still debating on going and getting my masters degree but I am taking it one day at a time thus far.

I started a new job in February, I have been there almost two months. I genuinely find my job so rewarding and I enjoy getting up each morning and going to work. I feel like my coworkers have become family and that I have finally found my place in my career. I plan to stay at my job after I graduate, BUT I’m not going to let you guys in on that secret of what I plan to do with my degree, just yet. Just know, that if my plans and prayers work out, I will be literally living out my dreams and doing what I love doing.

Chloe started gymnastics yesterday, April 12. It is something she has wanted to do for a while. Especially, since Savannah started doing it. She genuinely, enjoys it. I look forward to seeing how far up she can go. I’m still a little jealous that I never did gymnastics when I was younger because those girls make it look so much fun.

I found God again, yep. You read that right. I had started living for the world so much that I had lost my way. I’m not saying that you have to start going to church every time the doors open. I’m still a ways away from that at this point, but I do try to catch a online service on Sunday… I think when I started this blog, I was really at a bad part in my life. I didn’t know who I wanted to be anymore. I was going through so many trials, but GOD was telling me that it would all be worth it. God spoke to me and told me to start this blog. I was scared to death, but I did it. I don’t make money sharing my thoughts and personal life with you all, but I think some day I will venture out and try that. I’m just having fun at this point. Speaking of, what would you guys like to read about? God has changed my life in so many ways just this past month. I cannot begin to imagine what doors he will open for my little family and I, in the future.

If you have read all the way to this point, let me know, what you look forward to seeing and reading about in the future. I look forward to everyones input.

Now, let us pray.

Dear lord,

Thank you for carrying me this far in life. I’m so glad that I found my love for you again. I’m so thankful for the changes you have made in my life so far. Lord, whoever is reading this, I hope that if they are living a reckless life, they find you. I hope they find joy in seeking you and becoming obedient to you, lord. Lord, I pray for the people who are going through things that they don’t want to speak on, I pray you heal their broken hearts. I pray for the people who are still out living for the world, that they find the greatness of you soon. Lord, I pray that the ones suffering find peace soon.

In Jesus name, Amen.

I love you guys. Again, I want to thank you all for the support you all have shown me this far.

I see you tear up every time a new pregnancy is announced.. you feel selfish, because you are wishing that it was you, as well. I see you being envious of that expecting mama you pass in the store, who has that just starting to show bump and glow. It’s so much harder when get pregnant with the first child unexpectedly, but you’re having such a hard time conceiving the second.

I see you silently crying on the inside when people ask when you’re going to have another one. I see you wondering if something is wrong with you, when you aren’t getting pregnant so easily.

I see you mama, feeling defeated when only one line shows up instead of two on that pregnancy test you bought. I see you mama when even though you get a negative test, you buy more because you’re still late, and you’re still hopeful that one will be positive.

I see you mama, trying to be happier than ever for your friends, but when you get home you have a breakdown. You still attend baby showers, you still buy the gifts for your friends, but it’s breaking your heart because you are wishing it was your baby you were buying the gifts for.

I see you mama, because I am you. In so many ways. I AM YOU. I am that mama who wants so bad to give her little girl a sibling. I have the names picked out. I have the nursery design on a Pinterest board. I am also, that mama, that it just isn’t happening right now.

I cannot tell you how long I have prayed for another sibling for my child.. I cannot tell you how much money I’ve spent on pregnancy test in just this last year.. hoping I would get one that says, you’re pregnant!

I know that when it does happen, that baby will feel so much love! But I cannot help to feel envious of all you mamas to those sweet precious, newborn babies.

At this season in life, I just know it’s not God’s plan for me. I so wish more than anything it was. But until then, I am still cheering you mamas on. I’m still praying for you mamas who also are having a hard time conceiving.. & I’m rooting for you mamas, who keep adding to your sweet little families. ♥️

If you’ve made it this far, Lord I pray for the person reading this. I pray you show them mercy lord, I pray you answer their prayers lord. I pray they are able to conceive soon lord. I pray it’s your will to grant them the wish of motherhood. If the person reading this is expecting I pray you let them have a happy healthy pregnancy. For all you new mamas, I pray, for you strength. I pray for your patience, and most importantly I pray excellent health for your littles.

I love you all. & I hope you all had the sweetest Easter. ♥️

Have you ever lost someone? A family member, a friend, someone you loved, someone you cherished. It never gets easier. You never stop missing them…

Today I woke up and it took everything in me not to just stay in bed. I wouldn’t let myself be alone.. I wanted to be surrounded by people..

A year ago I woke up as any other normal work day and went to work.. a few hours later, I ended up going to lunch a little later than normal… me and a co-worker decided to go to lunch together.

I remember sitting at lunch and getting a text message saying you had just passed away. I was in total shock, I think I actually dropped my phone and was like nah must be someone else. My coworker staring at me and being like are you okay?? You read this right?

Then I remember paying my bill, being in shock and speeding back to work, trying to inform my boss what was going on and that I was leaving.

I called my mom and she didn’t answer so I kept calling back to back.. I think I drove 100 on the interstate with my emergency lights on trying to get to the hospital..

Only for my worst fear to be confirmed… you were gone.. I remember sitting outside of the emergency room rocking back and fourth wondering what I could do..

The next few days passed with a blur, visitation, your funeral, etc..

That’s the funny thing about grieving… time doesn’t stop, the world still turns.. people still go about there business, but you, you’re stuck.. you’re stuck wondering why everyone else can still be happy, and giggling. Why you still have to be an adult? Why you still have to get up and go to work in the mornings? That’s the crazy thing, when you’re an adult, you don’t get to shut down like you want to.. there’s people depending on you. More often than not there’s children depending on you. YOU have to be the strong one..

I remember a week or two after you went to heaven, sitting in my living room one night by myself, balled up on my couch screaming and crying.. wondering WHY. Why it had to be you, why someone so full of love and life had to be taken.. you had so many dreams and plans.. but that’s the thing… god had other plans.

Crowe, I have it tattooed on my ribs just for you, because I knew how bad you wanted a tattoo!

You meant so much more than you’ll ever know to me, even though I never showed it. I always looked forward to Jessica texting me or coming to work telling me about what crazy thing you had done the night or weekend before! Or even snap chatting me you helping give Braxton a bath. I think you kept us all on our toes wondering what you were gonna do next.

Losing you taught me so much, like spend as much time with your family as you can. Tell people you love them more often. & don’t be scared to live a little.. && always have some beer at your house 😂. you left an impact on us all.

I keep a drawer full of natty lights in my fridge and think of you everytime I open the fridge and look down.

We miss you more and more as each day passes. We will never forget you, Crowe. ♥️ until we meet again, continue to watch over us! We love you! ♥️

Months ago my husband and I started planning for the future.. we ended up building a 4 bedroom house on the back of the land that connects to my mother & father in laws house..

We recently laid on the couch and laughed the other day because this house felt huge & empty when we first moved in… and it was because we had no furniture…

I loved the openness of it, i still do. I love how our house feels like home every single day. I love decorating it, I love showing my husband my ideas…

I love how much peace this house brings me.. I love how great of a person it has made me.. & honestly, I enjoy going to work everyday knowing that I am paying for something I absolutely love!

We moved so much growing up, when we were looking at houses, I was honestly scared I’d get tired of this house. In my heart, I feel like this is the house god wanted me to have.. the house god wanted me to raise Chloe and bring another baby into the world in.

I’m so proud, of the house we built. ♥️

I have the Bible app.. if you have it as well then you know that it will send you notifications about random stuff to pray for, Bible books, etc.

I got to thinking last night god is really answering what I’ve been praying for lately.. and I was just too stubborn to realize it or even just flat out ignoring it… I was feeling sorry for myself because I felt alone… last night before bed, I prayed.. I said God if this is you, please give me a sign to know that you are letting the things I’ve been praying for come true.

I got a notification from my Bible app, and the notification read exactly how I had been feeling.. I thought wow, why not read it!

This popped up:

God, I want more of You.

Too often, I choose to pursue momentary things and push You aside. Please forgive me, and change me. I don’t want to live a life that isn’t focused on You.

As I prepare for Resurrection Sunday, help me to silence the noise in my life. Show me what steps I need to take to refocus my heart, mind, and will on You alone.

Search my heart, and know me. Clean out my life, point out anything that offends You, and make me more like You. Show me the paths that lead to life, and fill me with joy in Your presence.

I love You, and I want to fix my eyes on You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Chills down my body, & thank god for listening…

Happy Sunday, peeps ♥️

Have you ever heard that good old gospel song? “ Somebody prayed for me, had me on their mind,
They took the time and prayed for me.
I’m so glad they prayed
I’m so glad they prayed for me.”

I’m not gonna say I’m the person who goes to church every Sunday. Honestly, I think the last time my husband and I were in church was when we got married… that sounds horrible… I don’t even think I picked up a Bible again until almost a month ago…

We all fall short, nobody is perfect. Sometimes I wake up on sundays and watch a live broadcast of a church service… sometimes, I don’t even hear my alarm..

Sometimes I don’t think I’m worthy enough to step into a church building… guess what? Jesus still loves me.

I wouldn’t be standing here today, if someone hadn’t prayed for me. I’m not saying I’ve had it worse than anyone else out there.. I can guarantee I’ve had it 100 times better than some people out there… but I wouldn’t be where I’m at today if someone hadn’t prayed for me. Whether that was a friend, my parents, my siblings.. someone prayed for me.

And guess what? I wouldn’t mind praying for you as well if you needed it. I’m a firm believer that the good things you’ve been hoping for are strictly from prayer.

Remember my loves, Jesus loves you & so do I ♥️

This phase of life is weird, it’s difficult, it’s constantly changing.

This phase of life I’m in, this season… I no longer want to sit at tables that serve no purpose to me. I no longer want to be around people who sit and talk about me. I no longer want to let people’s opinions about me bother me..

There’s always gonna be that one person, who is gonna constantly talk down on you. Let them go. It doesn’t matter if they are family, or a friend. Let them go, you will feel so much more free.

I feel like I’ve become a lot more reserved this past month… like I’d rather be at home, I’d rather have a home cooked meal, I’d rather make sure my family is content. The house is clean. Chloes tucked in. The dogs are fed. I have a checklist in my head that I’m constantly going through.. making sure things are checked off..

This phase or season of life, I asked god to take out all of those toxic family members and friends.. I no longer want to be associated with them. Those tables I used to beg to sit at, serve me no purpose anymore.

I’m about to sound very cliche but I’m not afraid to burn bridges anymore, I can swim. Meaning, those people I thought I would die without… look I’m still here, I’m still breathing.

This phase of life is all about self love. I no longer care to explain myself to others, if you are affecting my mental health, good riddance. I CANNOT stress enough that your mental health is so so much more important than anything else. that means to put YOURSELF first if you have to. Those people that get upset about that, those aren’t your people. My best advice to anyone: love yourself first. I spent years hating myself, hating who I was looking at in the mirror. Letting depression win.. self love is the greatest gift one can give themselves..

This phase of life, I’m gonna “wing it”. I’m not gonna beg to set at tables that serve no purpose to me. I’m gonna try to go with the flow, even though I love to have things planned out. This phase of life, I’m learning more about myself that ever. I’m learning how to be graceful, to just breath.

This phase of life, is busy. Man, is it busy. I woke up this morning and realized just how fast life passes by. School is hard, some days are overwhelming. I love this phase of life the most, because this phase of life is finding out just what life is all about. This phase of life has already begun with lots of joy and prayers.

♥️

I can be quiet around you if I don’t really know how to approach you, or I just don’t like you.. I’m very outspoken and I’m gonna tell you my opinion whether you like it or not…

Stephanie once told someone that she hated going places with me because if something was wrong with something I was gonna tell the person about it… she’s not wrong 😂. If your food is wrong I got you, girl! Or you ordered something and it’s the wrong color, don’t be shy, I got you sis! 😂.. you don’t want someone in your house? Call me I’ll tell them to leave.

It wasn’t until I was in my 20s I got this voice, I used to be that quiet girl who would just take what you said and go cry about it… I’m still an emotional person but I’m not gonna take your shit.

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea because I’ll block you in a heart beat… I’m at a point where I just don’t feel like putting up with unnecessary drama..

I can be your Bestfriend, but I can also be your worst enemy the choice is yours… I learned not to belittle myself to make others happy. Put your energy into people who appreciate you. Don’t keep giving if that other person is only taking.

I’m myself I don’t care if you don’t like me. It used to hurt my feelings with people just stopped talking to me for no reason, when I didn’t get invited on trips, when I didn’t get invited to the party.. guess what? The party is better at the Yates or Crowe residence..

It took me a long time to become this person, It took me a long time to realize that I wasn’t always going to be included in the things I would love to be included in. That I’m not everyone’s favorite person. That some people aren’t going to like me because of my past. It took me a long time to realize that you can forgive people for not saying sorry. It’s taken me a long time to realize a lot of people aren’t like me. I’m not the biggest fan of summer but I hate the winter. I like waking up on Sunday mornings and laying in bed until I have to get up & do last minute things. I like going for drives by myself. I enjoy the weirder things in life. I’m not the person you call at 4 a.m. & expect to get an answer from. At this point in my life, sometimes, I’d rather be by myself than with a whole bunch of people. I’m not the girl you call to go on a run with but I am the girl you call if you need a beer & to vent.

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea because I don’t want to be.. it’s 2021, stand up for yourself, speak your truth, be who YOU wanna be, quit putting on that show to please everyone, because trust me.. it’s exhausting. Be who you were made to be! If you have to drop those toxic friends, quit talking to those toxic family members. Do what you gotta do to make YOU happy. Stop caring what others think! Take a little time to figure out who you wanna be, if others don’t support that person screw them.

Stop getting upset when you don’t get invited to things, if those people wanted your company they would have shown it a long time ago… forget about them! I know it’s easier said than done.

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, but guess what? It doesn’t bother me anymore. The people that matter, my favorite people? I’m there cup of tea. Unless, you can’t drink tea.. then I’ll be your glass of wine or something 🤣.

Let me introduce you to mine.

It’s no secret that these two are my role models. It’s also no secret that I couldn’t have picked a better person for my brother. They level each other out.

If you knew my brother and Stephanie years ago, you no longer know them. They have both changed into outstanding people! I find myself bragging about them to others often.

Ive started this topic over and over again because I could literally go on and on about these two. If you’ve been around from the beginning you know that Stephanie and Brayden ( and eventually savannah too) saved Josh.

I met Stephanie a few months before her and my brother started “talking” something about her stuck with me and I couldn’t put my finger on it. I remember laying by the pool one day and Josh getting up, going to the gate and letting this girl in. I could tell she was sooo nervous 😂. He introduced us and I looked at her funny and she was like we’ve already met! Josh was looking at us crazy. Y’all it’s been a wild ride since those verandas days!

If you know me then you know my brother is my world, they say dads set the bar real high & while that’s true to an extent, if you had a brother like mine you’d know older brothers set the bar high.

I was sooo thankful when Josh started dating Stephanie because I had always wanted a big sister, he had finally given me that! Let’s not forget a nephew as well who I say was my first baby because Stephanie gave me the opportunity to love him as my own. I don’t know if it was Brayden that made me so attached to Stephanie, the sisterly bond that we automatically had, or because she had a Ford Escape and that was 16 year old Thea’s dream car 😂😂.

Stephanie helped me get ready for proms, pageants, senior portraits, & graduation. Josh and Stephanie have always joked that I was there other kid. They have always been there and have told me what I needed to hear regardless if I was going to like it or not.. it’s no secret that we’re all 3 stubborn and of course we butt heads from time to time!

I stated in my previous post that when I was pregnant I was most scared to tell my brother.. I did not want to tell him y’all cause I knew he was gonna knock me out.. my brother didn’t even believe I was doing what you had to do to get pregnant 😂 so I knew he was about to hang me by my toenails. Nope, instead him and Stephanie supported me unconditionally. Stephanie bought Chloe her first pair of shoes ( this is funny because if you know steph you know she loves fashion ), they had Chloe’s crib bedding hand made, and they stayed in the hospital with me while I was in labor. Usually, you don’t get that bond.

My brother and Stephanie are my role models because even though I’m in my twenties I’m still learning… they’ve taught me forgiveness, strength, compassion.

It’s no secret that we’ve had a falling out in our relationship the past year.. but thankfully we’ve mended that. It took strength to lay everything out on the table, to get everything out, to share those secrets, to have those heart to hearts.

My brother and Stephanie will always be my role models, no matter how old I get I’ll always look up to them, because they helped mold me into the woman I am today.

It’s no secret they had a hand in raising me, they molded me into the person I am today, thanks to Josh and steph I know all the old school music & I know how to throw back a michelob ultra and thank god for Stephanie I know how to drop it low… 😂😂

My brother and Stephanie have taught me love, that even after the knock out drag outs they still love me. They love the person I’ve become & I strive to make them prouder of me every day…. I want them to be as proud of me as I am of them.

Remember my loves, family is everything. ♥️

If you haven’t ever heard it, listen to piece by piece by Kelly Clarkson, it reminds me of my brother in so many ways… but that is an explanation for another day… I love you all, ♥️

Whew, I can’t believe it’s been six years since I gave birth to the little girl that changed my life.

If you knew me when I was a teenager, you would know I was a selfish person. I was so invested in myself I really didn’t care about other people. When I got pregnant, my family thought they were going to have to raise my child.

That all changed December 6th 2014 at 1:20 pm. I was in awe of that little 7 lb 7oz little girl I just gave birth to.

God blessed me with this little girl because he knew I needed to love someone else more than I loved myself.

At 18 I was that “statistic” a teen mom, I remember being so scared to tell my family that I was pregnant. It’s so funny because I was most scared to tell my brother. If you know my brother and I’s relationship, I just knew he was about to come across that living room that day and knock me out. Instead, he cried, and so did Stephanie. I remember Stephanie grabbing me and taking me to the bathroom and giving me a talk that I would always hold close to my heart.

Being so young when I had Chloe, I feel like we have a bond that’s so strong! I want her to be able to tell me everything and her know that I support her, always.

My pregnancy with Chloe was such a breeze after that first trimester! I was in my last semester of high school when I got pregnant.. I remember my horticulture teacher pulling me to the side and asking me why I hadn’t told her! & that she was so excited for me. My horticulture teacher was literally one of my favorite teachers! She was always sooo supportive and she had the best personality! But as always, I also had teachers that looked at me differently..

I lost friends, I grew up fast. That may, I got a job, and I moved in with my boyfriend.. we found out in June that we were having a babygirl! I was so excited because up until that point my grandmother kept telling me I was having a boy. I had always wanted a babygirl! I remember after finding out going through a list in the car and picking out a name.. my aunt suggested Brooklyn, and I all but cussed her out about that name 😂😂😂 ( Brooklyn and I weren’t on speaking terms at this point because of pregnancy hormones.) Chris ended up picking out Chloe Nicole and I absolutely loved it! I wanted to name her Hadley Emilee Delrae (thank god nobody let me do this).

Chloes due date was November 29th and not knowing anything about pregnancy or babies I thought when they gave you a due date that’s pretty much the actual day they are born………. y’all 🤦🏻‍♀️😂. I was fully prepared to spend the auburn Alabama game in the hospital.. I remember a week or two before my due date making Josh and Stephanie take me all over auburn looking for an auburn bow… November 29th came and it went and I was stilllllll pregnant.

Josh and Stephanie had a party at there house on November 29th and if I moved a certain way Josh was freaking out 🤦🏻‍♀️😂. I went to the doctor on December 3rd and my doctor finally agreed to induce me. PRAISE THE LORD. This was a Wednesday. That Thursday I was getting my hair done when I got a call that I was being put in the hospital that afternoon. I remember being in shock.. I remember going and grabbing my bags and heading to the hospital.. my mom calling my dad to tell him I was in the hospital & y’all I swear I think he thought I was in full blown labor because he got here in 2 1/2 – 3 hours 🤦🏻‍♀️ (he lived in Panama City beach at this time)… anyways, my mom, Josh, Stephanie, Cati & Jock stayed with me one night and I swear nobody except Josh got sleep that night and to this day he will tell you he also didn’t sleep… he snored so bad and between that and the girl next to me being in full blown labor it was rough.. I remember crying thinking someone was in there hurting her 😂🤦🏻‍♀️.

That next morning, my doctor came in and told me I would need a c-section because I wasn’t progressing.. I was determined I wasn’t doing that.. I laid in my hospital bed for a while and every time I would have a contraction my brother would giggle make everyone be quiet and say shhhh y’all she’s having one. I finally went into the birth room and Josh came in there and asked me what he could do.. I told him do not let anyone else in this room but add some ✨spice✨ to that sentence. He went in the waiting room & added a little more seasoning to the sentence 😂. Later that day my doctor came into my room and asked me was I gonna have a c-section, if not he was going home. I know, that sounds harsh but my doctor was a family friend so he could tell me straight up what I needed to hear. I agreed and y’all I cried. I cried like they were about to take me to that operating room and murder me.

Like I said earlier, I was selfish and the whole reason I cried is because I didn’t want a scar.. My whole family came in the room and gave me there support.. and I still cried because I didn’t want this csection at all I thought they were still gonna kill me and give me a scar.. Josh came in and hugged me and held my hand for a bit and then he went over to the window… my dad patted him on the back and told him I was gonna be okay that’s when he lost it and I don’t know who cried harder at that point me or Josh..

Then the csection happened.. y’all it was a literal breeze. I got a spinal block ( which I thought was an actual block they put in your back ) and my doctor had some Christmas music playing, him and my nurses made me feel like a queen 👸🏻. A few minutes later, they held Chloe over the curtain and I was in heaven.. I looked at my doctor and I told him I loved him. I didn’t see Chloe til like 4 hours after that, that was the longest 4 hours of my life.

✨ AND also, a special thank you to aunt Sonja who went and bought me granny panties after I had Chloe & stayed up three days and twenty seven nights waiting on me to have her 😂✨

I always thought time went by slow until I actually had Chloe, now I feel like I blinked and it’s been 6 years. That feels like a lifetime ago as well though. My whole life changed the day I had Chloe. I no longer felt the need to only love myself because I loved this human being more than I loved anyone or anything.

Chloe has taught me so much, she taught me patience, to love myself again, & she’s taught me payback because whew 😅 she is me made over. I used to stay up and watch her sleep… I still find myself doing this sometimes. She makes me want to be a better person & stay a better person.

Before I had Chloe, I prayed that god would send me a sign to help me change my life around.. god sent me a blessing.. I prayed so much when I found out I was pregnant, I prayed for guidance, I prayed for a healthy pregnancy, I prayed for a perfect child. God answered those prayers for me. And god gave me a second chance to start my life over.

Gods never gonna give you more than you can handle, remember that! I sometimes wish I could go back in time and tell 18 year old me about how much that bald headed blue eyed babygirl is gonna teach you and that growth and journey through life together is gonna help you grow up and give you exactly what you need in life. I also wish I could tell her to savor every moment of those first, and don’t be scared.

That first born, is gonna teach you everything you needed to know. They are gonna show you a love you never knew. They are gonna fill your heart with love and appreciation. They are gonna change your life for the better.

Alll I can say is thank god, for that first born. ♥️

If you’ve made it this far let us pray,

God I pray for whoever is reading this, whether they have a child, whether they are expecting, or if they can’t have kids.. lord I pray you wrap them with love and strength. You show them peace, you show them understanding. Lord, we don’t always know why we are faced with the trials we are faced with but you give us the ultimate answers.. there’s a reason you do the things you do lord, please give us strength for understanding those things lord. Amen.

God, I ask you to protect my first born. I pray that she never has to grow up fast, lord. I thank you for all of the blessings you have provided for us. I thank you for the guidance through the struggles we have faced lord. I pray you continue to pour blessings into our lives, and I pray you continue to show us the path to follow to worship you lord. In Jesus name, amen. ♥️
