      To please God, we must pray to him in secret that is scripture, however most people go with what is popular and that is praying before the world. A huge leap from just praying with other people.

      ⁠@@YahsdaughterJDthe Bible called out the Pharisees because they were praying for attention and being hypocritical in their religiosity. They were showing off their understanding and knowledge for others to praise them. They were being holier than thou.
      There is nothing wrong with praying in public or in front of people. Jesus did it all the time and so did His apostles. They prayed over people In public and called for change in public. Praying in private is most important and should be practiced always but having boldness and praying in public for others or around others in purity of heart is totally fine!

      The point she was making is that we should NOT be afraid to pray in front of others. Yes, we shouldn't make a "show" of praying, as in wanting others to see us pray, but we shouldn't not pray because we are "afraid" of others seeing us. Too many of us are busy being secret Christians, when we have been called to let our lights shine and to go out and make disciples of men for Jesus. God bless

Awards after awards! Very articulate and well spoken. An inspiring role model for all her younger siblings! Always smiling! Beautiful on the outside, beautiful smile, beautiful personality, confident, courageous and most importantly, God fearing! Amyah will be great in her studies and will continue to make her parents proud! She will be the brightest light at UC Berkeley!

      @@CandyCoated96 , thank you as a parent, grandma, and great-grandma.
      One has to trust that you had raised your children to be their best person and not a clone of you. Because God chose us to parent them, therefore, we must give the blueprint for a successful life. “ Train them up on the way they shall go.” Parents navigate their child's life from the womb to adulthood. This latter part of that verse in the Bible is a promise from God. “ When they are old, they will not depart from it.” “Many things will tangle their feet, but nothing will hold on to them.” No weapon formed against them shall prosper- the word of the Lord. I am so happy for them, and I wish them great success in life, marriage, and love.
      P.S. I cried and rejoiced with them, too!

    As someone said, he shows no difference between the biological children and his own his calm and steadfast demeanor, his ability to allow his wife to be herself his love for God, and this cool confidence is so wonderful

    I can't deal! Found you guys by chance. I went back to watch old videos. Remember you guys in the old house, years before the move - the girls were so little. Brother was so little. New babies. I teary eyed as if my own niece is starting her new adventure. And Joe! He is always so calm. To see him emotionally "unemotional" (as he put it) is so refreshing. Bon Chance, Amyah! You are so grounded and intelligent. You can do anything! Thank you all for taking us on this journey, and making me cry at work. 🤣

    I clearly remember when Amyah first started middle school. It's wild how time flies! You two have been incredible parents. I hope that Amyah recognizes and appreciates how fortunate she is to have parents like you two. Wow! I was crying like she was my own child...lol. This was so touching to see. Thanks for sharing this special milestone with us. Joe, you're awesome! ❤

    Oh my goodness, Joe made me cry during the prayer!! I have watched this channel since before Ajedi was born. I told my mom about this channel back then and she started watching it too. The Internet aunties are so proud of Amyah. We are also so humbled by the commitment Alena and Joe have to their family and each other. Amyah said it, “God is so good!!” With all that’s going on in the world it is just a blessing to see this moment. I’m a little behind and watching the videos because I knew that I wanted to take ample time to just witnessed what this was like for you all. I’m continuing to pray for the family and for Amyah as she embarks on this part of her life.

Continue to let GOD use you, and don't change your beliefs, values, nor standards for no one. What I love the most about this family is that they keep GOD first in everything they do. Alena that was a strong and awesome Prayer that was very much needed. Seeing Joe's cry during his prayer just broke me to pieces. You guys are great parents!!!!!

    The days of hand holding never fade. Amyha is on another leg of her journey through life, but there is no stage at which she won't need the reassuring hands of her parents and loved ones to help her on her way. How wonderful that the three of you could mark this right of passage. It is a day none of you will forget, but just one out of many, many more to come. God bless and protect us all.
