Dōs moi pā stō, kai tan gān kināsō

Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth.
I believe I have felt this way since the day of my birth.

Wherever it is that God allows me to stand
I would hope to shake the world and show the power of His hand.

Wherever it is that He allows me to place my feet
I will absolutely, under no circumstances, be discreet.

Jeremiah said it was a fire shut up in his bones.
I will cry out to The Almighty. No need for stones.

Give me a place to stand and I will reach up and touch the divine.
I will pull it down with all of my might until His glory does shine.

One man believed this and changed all mankind.
He said someone has to give their life and I am giving mine.

He knew no matter where His feet walked
glory was poured out and evil was blocked.

He understood that He Himself was power.
He knew He was The Almighty, The Savior, The Strong Tower.

He had a knowing that He was the One that would save us all.
He knew good and well He could take all of us from Saul to Paul.

He knew no matter where He stood He would transform the world.
Jesus knew without a doubt His impact was plural.

I want with all my heart to be like this man.
So Jesus, please give this girl a place to stand.

Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth.
I will give your life purpose. Your death, your resurrection, your birth.

MOM

Mom.
Remember when you got me ready for prom?
You made sure I had the best dress, the best hair, the best shoes, everything. You were the bomb!

Liz.
Remember when you were all up in my biz?
Checkin up on me 24/7. BLOWIN up my phone when you became a textin whiz.

Friend.
Remember when we would sing in the car, be loud, laugh and grin?
Any time I have been down you have been able lighten my spirits and lift up my chin.

Role model.
You have helped me choose to never smoke, never drug it, never even pick up a bottle.
You have taught me to live my life full force, all the way, full throttle!

You have from day one supported all of my dreams.
You have taught me to be me until i'm bursting from the seams.

You push me, push me, push me until I am about to fall down.
But I never do fall. I find myself soaring miles and miles above the ground.

I can laugh with you like I can with no one else.
You have taught me the house will catch on fire if I leave a candle burning until it melts!!!!!

One thing I really love about you Mom
is that you support JADEDEKELAITA.COM.

I also love your ability to laugh.
If we tried to calculate the volume of it, it'd go right off of the graph.

I also love the strength that you display.
Sure you cry during cheesy commercials and dramatic moments in a play.
But the inner, unspoken strength that you have shown me
is what makes me the woman I am known to be.

Mom, I am so incredibly proud that you are my mother.
I literally, absolutely, without a doubt would never wish to have another.

You know me better than any living being.
You have seen the good, the bad and the ugly and still love everything you're seeing.

So, I don't know. I don't know exactly what to say?
Thank you and I love you seem so cliche.

Mom, you aren't perfect and sometimes you lack the cool.
But if I could tell the world the truth. It'd be this: I want to be just like you.
