Dear Morayo...

A few years ago, I wondered what I would do with you. I wondered if I was ready for motherhood and if I had acquired all the wisdom I needed to transfer to a child while raising them. Two years later, I don't know what I'd do without you. Morayooluwa you have changed my life forever in ways I never imagined. Here is the biggest lesson you have taught me in 2 years...

I thought I understood what unconditional love meant when I read about it in the Bible. We have a father in heaven and He loved us so much that He sent His only son to die for us. Great! However, I didn't comprehend it until June 4th 2012. As a matter of fact, I'd dare say it started as soon as I knew you were growing within me. Through my fears, I already started praying for you. I prayed for your health, for your growth, for every hair on your head, every finger, every toe. I had some days I was really stressed planning my wedding to your dad and I would break down in tears because I thought I was also putting a strain on you. I hadn't met you but I wanted you to be okay, I wanted you to have no worries.

Every time I think of how deeply I love you, I comprehend a little more, God's love for me. I am reminded constantly of Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will you heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" With the help of the Holy Spirit, I've been able to connect this verse to many scenarios ever since having you. Through you,  I have a glimpse of God's love for me as His child, and that gives me the confidence I need because I know whom I belong to. Thank you.

These Days, you're super active and totally ready for your terrific 2's! A lot of days you do somethings, I'm left blown away by how intelligent you are. I can confidently say we've gotten to the stage where we interact with each other! Not necessarily through total audible words but you understand everything I tell you! Every action, gesture, sentence, reaction, reminds us that my little girl is growing up FAST. Two Sunday's ago, as we got ready for church, Demi was playing with a suitcase in the room. It fell on the floor and made a loud noise, so he started crying. Daddy walked over to pick him up and you jumped off the bed and said..."What happened?" Your dad and I just stared at each other. As a matter of fact, I had to ask him to repeat to me what you just said so I know I wasn't hearing things. Lol!

Mobooski we love you so so much. Daddy loves you, I love you, and DemDem just adores you. As you begin this new year, I pray God's protection over your life! You will continue to grow in His wisdom and good health will be your portion by His Grace. We look forward to the many adventures you'll take us on!

I took these photos the morning of your birthday....

Happy 2nd Birthday Queen Morayo!
