Here's To The New Chapter!

It seems like only yesterday when I accompanied you to your college graduation. And now, with God’s grace, giving birth to your first born. As your big sister I could not let such a momentous occasion pass without telling you that it has been a joy to see you delight yourself with the Lord and to see Him give you the desires of your heart.

Remember that being a wife and mother really IS a noble and sacred calling like no other.

Under mountains of dishes and laundry, sleepless nights, thousands of diaper changes and days when you wonder what you have accomplished besides getting baby Lance fed, it can be easy to feel like you aren’t doing much in life. But just remember that these more mundane tasks are all part of a greater work for God. As a mother you are raising mighty warriors for the Lord. I can tell you that while it is a lot of plain, honest hard work, no career could be more fulfilling than raising the children God has given you alongside the man God has given you.

As for you (Julius), my dear brother-in-law, it is with great joy that we welcome you to the family. Not only did you seem so perfectly suited for my sister, but you seemed perfectly suited to our whole family as well.

Congratulations in advance Mina and Julius for your new BLESSINGS. Hope to see and carry baby Lance soon!

Thus, out of small beginnings greater things have grown by God’s hand who made all things out of nothing, and gives being to all things that are.

Remember .. You are still my sister and will ALWAYS be my sister and I will ALWAYS love you.
