Happy Birthday

July 17, four days and three years apart from Shawntae, Zo was born. He is my older son and is 29 years old today. He is talented, too.

Thank you for all of your support, love, and trust Zo! Couldn't have made it through without you. I love you! I hope you have the happiest birthday ever and may God bless you with many more!

Check Zo out at his myspace page. He and Shawntae both write lyrics and sing. His, song, She's Fancy is featuring his brother, Shawntae'rapping. I must warn you that if you scroll further than the main page, there may be some explicit pictures from his guest.

The assignment to pray for our children is absolutely essential to raise up a generation that will withstand the enemy's attack upon them. (Gen 22:17, Psalm 127:5). These prayers and scriptures are dedicated to this most important responsibility and privilege.

Lord, what you You want for my children? Guide me by Your Spirit as I pray for them according to Your will. I release them to You so that You can accomplish Your will for their lives. I will not try to live my life over through them. Keep me from binding them by my needs, wants, and ambitions for them. Get me out of Your way, so that You can work the life of Christ in them and give them Your best. Give me the grace to wait on You, for Your timing is perfect.

I pray that my children will:

Receive and love Jesus as their Savior - John 3:16

Commit their lives to make Jesus Lord and be filled with Your Spirit - Phil 2:9-11, Ephesians 5:18

Learn to pray and praise - Mark 10:14-15

Be protected from the evil one by the blood of Jesus - John 17:15, 1Johon 4:4

Receive the love of God the Father - 1 John 3:1

Love the word of God - Psalm 119:127-30, 159-162

Learn to hate sin and love holiness, righteousness, and the fear of the Lord - Psalm 119:9, 11:2, 2 Timothy 2:22, Roman 16:19; Prover 8:13

Repect those in authority - Romans 13:1, Ephesian 6:1, 3:22-25

Seek to please God, not self, and serve others - Math 4:10, Psalms 19?14, Mark 10: 43-45

Find the godly life partner that God is preparing, one who will complement them in their obedient walk with the Lord. Proverbs 12:4, 31:10, Psalm 112:1-2.

In Jesus' name, Amen!
