"My Calvin Turns "22" Today..."

I give God all the Glory...

It never occurred to me that I will be a part of society's ever growing "upheaval" in the spiritual sacraments of a traditional family--Divorce. 

Calvin was 9 years old when we all became a sad statistic. However, I made a covenant faith, a life's unaltered decision to be a good steward of single parenting no matter what it will cost me. That means: my choices and decisions will be based on my Christian beliefs and living it has been a constant challenge and an everyday struggle. The beauty of it all is the going through with these seem-like insurmountable dark edges of single parenting and know without a doubt that God's grace overflows when you believe that you're not alone and the Lord is holding you up. Thank also to my family's support especially my mom. Many battles I have fought fiercely & victoriously as a single mom because of God's covering on my life. And that never ceases to amaze me. God is good. He is Love...

Looking at my son, Calvin in these photos and smiling with so much promise and exuding confidence & passion for serving the country makes me a very proud and very grateful mom. And I can't thank our good Lord enough for blessing me a son that incessantly teaches me that our attitude in life's journey of ups & downs determines our altitude...

But without God's amazing grace, we're nothing & powerless. Our gifts and so called talents could never be activated & optimized if we operate on our own making. That should be a clear- cut statement and not a copped-out, sugar-coated, watered opinion.

I love you my son, Calvin & Happy Happy Birthday!
