Birth of the Next Dragons: CAG

I can say that this has been the most changing, experienced filled, and learning summer that I have EVER had in my 24 years of being on God's green earth. So many things have happened. Things that I was expecting to, most things that I didn't even see coming at all. And there were some pleasant surprises also. All in all, seeing as how the journey isn't over yet, if I had the choice to change everything up to this point, I can definitely say that I wouldn't because this has all brought me back closer to God and reaffirmed in me how to trust Him, listen to Him, and wait on Him; all of those things needing to be COMPLETELY overhauled and rebuilt in Him. I can honestly say that He truly did reveal to me what I'm doing a part of this for and THAT is the reason why I'm typing this entry right now.

A while back, I wrote an entry on my beautiful baby girl, Lilliana Simone. That little girl will grow up to be a virtuous woman who's worth is far beyond the riches and treasures of this world, just like her mother. My Lilli will be a Dragon in her own right, but more importantly, she will be a beautiful princess until she is old enough and wise enough to know that she is royalty and that she is truly a queen. The second entry in Birth of the Next Dragons focuses on her older brother and who he is.

Whenever that day is. Whatever month that it's in. Whenever the year is, the world will stop and take notice when Christian Alexander is born. The world will stand up and gather to see the next king that will take my place after I'm gone. My little Christian has a very special blessing on him, not just because he was the first born of my children, but the fact that he has a very God ordained destiny ahead of him that was revealed to the woman who will give birth to him. Since he will be the first born, he will have the opportunity to learn all the things that he needs to know before his baby sister so he can be able to teach her also. Such things as how special he is, how to be able to lift people up, how to be able to be honest with people who ask him anything. His caring, selfless, giving nature. His ability to be truly genuine and the sincerity that he will speak with (all of these traits coming mostly from his mother for whom we are naming him after). He will be a honorable man when he grows up. The code of the warrior, the honor code, and the code of Bushido will be deeply ingrained into him as they will be needed for him to be honorable in a dishonorable world. Most importantly thought, he will be a true man of God. He will learn to walk with him, talk to Him, pray to Him, trust Him and His counsel, and worship Him. My young prince will be a gifted athlete, doing things that I could never do and perhaps he, himself, didn't think he could do. The trait that I know he will receive from me is definitely being a protector. He will do anything to protect his family, ESPECIALLY his little sister. He loves Lilliana unconditionally and is always around her, playing with her, talking to her, sleeping around her. He doesn't or wont do anything without his baby sister. They will be each other's best friend because they will go to each other about everything they feel they cant talk about with me and their mom (even though will we teach them that they can because we wont or cant judge them). My young prince will be taught to think, walk, and act like a king because that is the lineage that he comes through. Because I am a child of a King in Heaven, that makes me a king on earth and my son will also be 1 because the royal blood that flows through my veins will also flow through his. My son will be 1 of the GREATEST musicians to ever live. His drumming will be greater than mine, Tony Royster, Jr., Spanky McCurdy, JoJo Mayer, Flip Phillips, and a bunch of other drummers that I could name but would be all day on. 

To you my young warrior, I want you to just know this. Daddy loves you SOOOOOOOOOOO much!!! Your mother was right when she said that she saw you every time she looked at me because you do look EXACTLY like me. You are so adorable and so loving as a baby. I can already tell that if you're that loving as a baby, then when you grow up, the love that you have to give will be enormous. I made these promises to your sister and now I make them to you. I PROMISE that I will always be there for you, Christian, no matter when you need me. I will never walk out on you. I will always be there to pick you up whenever you fall. I will always be there to encourage you to never give up. Never surrender. Never say no. As our Savior guides me and instills in me the things that I need in order to keep our family organized and keep you all safe and secure, He will also give to me the things that I need in order to help you in your walk with Him and how to come to Him when you need to or just come to Him period. I PROMISE to be that father that you can look up to and be proud of. A father that you can look at as a role model and a father that also teaches you how to love a woman just as much as I love your mother. Christian, you are a handsome young man and when you are born, you will take this whole world by storm. I love you SO SO SO SO much, my young prince, and your mother and I are excited about the day that you finally come into the world. I will see you when you take your first breath and open your eyes for the first time. Until then, my love, Daddy loves you so much and I will see you when you are born, my son...
