for Adler

I dream big dreams for you.

I imagine your leadership - confident, sure footed. You know who you are because you know your Maker. You allow God to use you to make an impact on those around you. People speak your name often. They desire to be in your presence because Christ is present in you.

You are honest and speak truth into people's lives. You are known for your integrity, you saw this from your own Father and know it's value. For this, you are always at peace.

You are adventurous. You climb and conquer mountains. You are resourceful, wise and creative in the way you live. You are strong and don't mind getting a bit dirty in the process. You are curious about this world and want to see all God has created. You love discovering beauty in people of different countries. You know God is limitless!

You love music, you learned this from your daddy. You are an excellent guitar player and people love hearing you play and sing.

You are fun and laugh often. You have a good laugh - it's contagious. We may not know what you are laughing at, but we are laughing with you anyways..you are that much fun!

You have great love in your life. She is beautiful, you love her smile, she respects and honors you. And you love her endlessly. Your lives encourage and bless each other. My prayers are often for her.

You have a long and fruitful life. God grants you the honor of knowing your great grand-children; seeing your legacy continue.

I have big dreams for you, Adler. But I know God can dream bigger.

But right now, it's just you and me. I hold you close to my heart as I rock you to sleep. You are so beautiful to look at. The world has slowed down for this slipping moment. I know it's just a blink in time. Soon, you will be off fulfilling your dreams. I will be so proud. Let's just sing right now, tomorrow will come too soon.

Love,
Mommy
