Manny’s Golden birthday

-

Good morning. I attempted to get a jump start at today’s post. Today my first born, Emmanuel turns 5. It’s also special as it’s his golden birthday, as he was born on May 5th, Cinco de Mayo. 
Currently I sit with our youngest Mac, as we pray for his counts to improve, so we can go home! 
In the meantime I had the ingenious plan to create a socially distant party parade plan for Manny. He has no idea! I can’t wait to see his expression. 
As I love traditions and sticking to some sort of order, in the mix of chaos, I of course wanted to write a letter to my sweet boy.

To my big boy,
Where should I begin?
My dear sweet Manny,
 It was actually 6 years ago that your daddy and I were only a few weeks away from being husband and wife. We knew we wanted to have kids, and we were going to allow and trust in God to decide exactly when. Well no later did we celebrate pere-pere’s birthday was it my surprise that God was beginning to physically knit you in my womb. Your dad was super excited as I shared this news on his birthday. The next 9 months waiting on you would be almost like a blur. I went into labor the day before, on the 4th, and labored mostly at home. We had some of our family over to check in on me (mere-mere, Titi, ayeya, Tia Willis). Finally I knew it was time, I woke your dad up and we went into the hospital. At 8:54am you entered this world and made us a mommy and daddy. Our lives are forever changed. Running behind you, constantly taking pictures, watching you smile. Today you turn 5, and I am so very proud of you and I can’t wait to see what you do next.
You are so very kind and adore your baby brother. I know it’s a work in progress but be patient with your sister. She is the only one you got.

Is there anything you don’t want to do, because I’m sure the stars are yours each time you jump. I see so much of myself of me in you. Even though it makes me nervous when you want to try something new, I will do my best to protect you but let you soar little by little on your own.
Pere-pere use to tell me always ‘don’t do like me, do better than me’. I pray that Jesus will shine through me and daddy, and you will one day love Him as much as He loves you. 
So happy 5th birthday...
I am so excited to know how thrilled you were for your superhero parade!
Love mommy

Caution, this post is real, as they all are. However it may make some of you uncomfortable.  Have you every watched Moana? There is a scene where moana is after Maui. Well in the middle of the night as she is voyaging there is a storm, she ask the water to help. She wakes up ship wrecked on an island and is upset, because she believes she is off course. She realizes she landed on the island where Maui has been. Well let me give you a better picture. The disciples sitting in a boat, and there is a bad storm. All the while Jesus is asleep. WHAT! The disciples in fear of drowning awoke Jesus.  “And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing." And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:25-27‬  Since Emerson was diagnosed I have held on ...

New Beginnings...

So as many of you may know our family is not on any sort of social media. However since the birth of our 3rd child, Emerson Daniel, this past summer, I wanted an opportunity to keep those whom are close to use up to date with our lives. As you may come to notice that I will be writing a lot about our youngest as we have been given some medical mysteries with this guy. God has and always been faithful to us during this time. Now I am hoping you will be patient with me, as this whole blogging is fairly new to me. As you will see there are pages, with specified topics. However new updates should show up on the main page when you check in. Please do not hesitate to leave messages, and above all prayers. In Christ The Calderons

Good morning.  I want to only place thoughts in my head and my heart that are going to leave lasting memories. This is sometimes hard to do. I’ve realized this as I walk with Christ. Many assume that oh those Jesus loving folk got it all together, they just call on His name and blessings rain down. Well yeah that’s true...but even the most righteous have to go through trials and tribulations. I mean have you heard of Job, he got his world turned upside down. Watch to find out about Job So is everything Emerson going through fair? As his mother I would say absolutely not. Do I believe there is a greater purpose in all of Mac’s suffering and his road to recovery and being rid of this leukemia? YES! So despite my flesh wanting to yell from mountain top of how unfair this all is, my spirit desires that I continue to trust in Jesus and his plan for my son. Now that doesn’t mean I disregard treatment or forsake the wisdom and knowledge of the     medical staff. I kn...
