Y’all, Layla is 22 today! On January 15, 2003, in the early hours of the morning, I went into labor. I can barely remember the pain now because the moment I saw her little face, I fell completely in love. I was so scared—I didn’t want to “ruin” her. Years later, after coming to know Jesus, I prayed and asked Him to help me become the mother He wanted me to be. Fast forward to today: Layla is a beautiful balance of gentle and bold, fierce and tender, resilient and vulnerable. She brings so much harmony to our home. Now let me brag a little—Layla is a music education major with an angelic voice and incredible talent. Not only does she sing beautifully, but she also creates her own original music. She’s a worshiper with a deep love for Jesus, and watching her pursue Him is one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever seen. Layla, you’re also an amazing big sister who absolutely spoils your siblings. Sometimes I’ve got to remind you, “You’re not their mama!” 😂 I’m so proud to call you my daughter and bestie. We’ve come such a long way, and I thank God for you every day. Whew, what a journey! Happy birthday, beautiful! Y’all please celebrate my Layla with me! Cash-app: $layw00d
