Happy 26th Birthday to my Lastborn!

 Happy 26th Birthday, Daniel!

Always my baby.💖

My dearest Dan, I have seen so much growth in you this past year.

Yes, struggles do continue but you know where to turn by default now. You have become more intentional in pursuing His purpose in your life through the gifts He has given you. Your vlogs are a delight and blessing to many and several have pointed out that you have a gift in teaching as a gifted communicator.

I love how intentional you are in your relationship with Cynthia and it is a joy to seeing you both grow in grace together.

Your smile still melts my heart and I will always be in love with you. But nothing compares to what God feels towards you as Furtick recently preached. He deemed you 'very good'. In fact He delights in you. May this knowledge be the filter through which you live life.

Some more memorable moments from the past year:

Uncle Dan!

My exhortation for you is that you continue to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and 'all these things' will be added to you. Continue to show grace by continually forgiving and not allowing any grudges or resentments to sit and stagnate in your heart. Find freedom daily by releasing all to Him Who is able.

My prayer and Scripture blessing for you:

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 (AMP)

11 With this in view, we constantly pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of your calling [to faith] and with [His] power fulfill every desire for goodness, and complete [your] every work of faith, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you [by what you do], and you in Him, according to the [precious] grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

Father, thank You so much for Your faithfulness and loving kindness toward Daniel this year. Thank You for that You saw him and knew him before he was formed in the womb. Thank You for Your Father's heart toward him. Father I pray that Your kingdom be advanced in His life. Grant him a fresh anointing of Your Holy Spirit as he continues to serve You in ministry. Be the centre always in his relationship with Cynthia and bless them as they continue to seek You. Please deliver him from evil and send Your warrior angels to do battle with any forces set against him. Surround him with a piercing sense of Your Presence with him. Convict him in any areas where sin might hide and infect and cleanse him from unrighteousness so that Satan gets no foothold. Shower him with Your love when he feels not enough and alone as we all do. Provide for him and lead him and open doors for him to flourish financially and be free of debt. Give him wisdom to steward all his resources, including his physical energy and giftedness and finances. Thank you, Lord, for this very precious gift you gave me 26 years ago. What joy he brings to those who know him.

Now to You Who is able to do so much more than we can ever hope or imagine. To You, O God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

I love you, my son!💝
