I sit back watching you. I think you know, I can't help but smile. There's no way I could have known what a responsibility God placed in my arms. Amazing to think how much he thinks of me, and all of his children for that matter, to bless me with such a beautiful, precious, little baby.

You are growing up so fast. Sometimes I wish time would just slow down and that you could stay in my protective arms forever. You are on the go mister. You had no sooner started crawling, and then you were pulling yourself up on anything within your reach.

Every night as I rock you to sleep, I pray for you. I pray for your Dad. For our family and that we would together listen attentively to God's plan for you. Jackson, it's much easier to get caught up in what the world thinks of you and wants from you. I hope you always listen to the voice of truth. It will always let you know how smart you are, how lovely you are, and how loved you are. There will be times down the road when you question that. Remember.

I love you today, tomorrow, and always.

Mommy
