My
Dearest Isaiah,
Happy
Birthday! It was eighteen years ago that
you caused my body to experience my first contraction ever as it prepared to
push you out into the world. It seems as
if I am once again having my first contraction as I prepare to launch you out
into the world.

| Isaiah at birth |
The
pain of knowing my little boy is now a man is real, but the joy of seeing who
you will be is greater than the pains within.
I am proud to be your mother. I
am proud of the ways I see you seeking the Lord for your future path.

One
of the greatest gifts that the Lord has created within your soul is the gift of
generosity. I have never seen anyone
give as you have given. It is a joy to
know that blessings have fallen on individuals all over the world due to the sacrifice
you made to follow the Lord’s prompting and be a cheerful giver. Do not let the world take the spirit of generosity
from you.

I
have also seen you love on those who are less fortunate. It is a spirit that many children don’t act
upon. Don’t ever stop fighting for those
the Lord puts in you path. He has a work
for you to do. Live it out!
It
is not a secret that you are a momma’s boy!!
There is nothing you wouldn’t do to protect me, love me or, provide for
me! I cherish that spirit! I also cherish the fact that one day the Lord
will give you a little lady to call your wife.
With the same passion, you will be a wonderful husband who protects,
loves, and provides for his family!
You will keep in perfect
peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you.
After
studying the Hebrew words in this passage,
I feel that is could also be read as:
You
will guard in complete safety him whose frame is leaning upon you because he is
secure and confident in you.
Be secure and
confident in nothing but the Lord!
Lean heavily
on the Lord for He is the only one who can hold up your frame and guard you in
life!
I
love you,
Mom
