L to R  all my girls, Jovan, Stormie, Tara, Jeanie, Steph and Dessa.stephtara.jpgBig sister, Tara and Steph at their birthdaysHappy Birthday my little Stepher!As some of you know, Steph was our little Preemie baby, weighing in at only around 5lb when she was born. Now days that might be as big a deal, but it was a BIG deal in 1982. But through God’s grace and miracles, Stephanie not only lived and was healed of Premature Infant Lung Disease, but has gone on to marry and give birth to three fantastic children!On any given day, you will find Steph, shuttling kids back and forth from school, on the computer using her entrapenurial skills in the business that she and sister, Stormie have founded, MayDae www.maydae.com , practicing music and song with husband, Tristan; her lungs and voice at stellar now, organizing her Heavenfest jobs: www.heavenfest.com  and loving her husband and children.stephgemma.jpgSteph and Gemma at Gemma’s 3rd birthday, playing AnnieHappy Birthday my Steph, I can still remember when I first held you out of the ICU and you were a gift from God to come into the world so fragile and tiny and how I prayed for you that God would fulfill his destiny in you for all the days of your life.I bless you, my daughter. I bless you as the woman of God that you are and who you will become. May the Lord bless your going in and your coming out. May He bless the fruit of your womb and the destiny that he has for you in your life. I bless you, my Steph. I love you so…dad51st-birthday-081.jpgme and Steph at my 51st birthday, my Daddy Warbucks shaving hadn’t grown back yet.
