POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

One year ago today, I became a mother to the most precious gift I have ever known.

For an entire year, I kept you from the world. I kept my pregnancy a secret. I kept your birth a secret. I kept the fact that I had a son a secret.

And one day, when you’re old enough to read this, I want you to understand why.

I wasn’t hiding you from the world. I was protecting you from it.

There is so much happening in this world that I could not control. And when I looked at you, all I could think about was protecting the innocence of this tiny life God had trusted me with.

You deserved peace before you ever had to know what chaos looked like.
You deserved love before you ever had to experience hate.
You deserved safety before you ever had to understand the things I was trying to protect you from.

So I chose to keep you close. I chose privacy. I chose to let you grow away from the eyes of the world. Every secret, every boundary, every moment I kept you to myself was never out of shame it was love in its purest form.

You were the one thing in my life I refused to let the world have access to.

And through every trial, every tribulation, every moment that tested me, you reminded me why I had to keep going. You became my purpose, my strength, and the greatest blessing I could have ever received.

Today, you are one.

And today, I’m finally allowing the world to know that I have spent the last year loving the most incredible little boy.

I pray that when you read this years from now, you never question how loved you were from the very beginning. You were protected because you were precious. You were kept private because you were sacred. And you were loved so deeply that I was willing to keep the entire world at a distance just to preserve your peace.

You were never hidden because I was ashamed of you.
You were hidden because I was protecting what I loved most.

Happy first birthday, my son. 🤍
You will always be worth protecting.
With all my love

God, thank You for all the blessings,heartaches,redemption and revelation You have given me. I want to live a life that honors You and is generous with what I have. Guide me to opportunities where I can fulfill others’ needs with my time, my belongings, and my finances. Help me to serve those around me with a generous heart - a heart that reflects Your nature. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
