Daddy Joe is so proud of her. A Dad is not genetics only, but love, dedication and emotional investment, plus he is a Christian, pure-hearted. In his heart he is her Dad!
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
OMG! I cried tears of joy for Amyah! I started watching you guys when Amyah was so little. The little babies weren't even born yet. She has been super intelligent all her life. 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!
I was touched by Joe. Awesome prayer, you can see the love of a father shine through him. He’s proud of his daughter even though he’s not her biological father but he’s a true father indeed. He shows no difference between his children or his wife children he treats them all the same. Joe I am proud of you 👏🏾 and Amyah
I'm so happy for you.YES GOD IS GREAT. DONT FORGET TO HOLD ON TO GOD WHEN TIMES GET CHALLENGING. I REMEMBER WHEN I MOVED IN TO MY DORM. YOURS IS LARGER. YES ALENA ITS EXCITING. AMEN TO BOTH YOUR PRAYERS.
Joe, you are the world's perfect father. Every child needs a father figure like you. God richly bless you. People gather here,give Joe a big thumbs 👍 up. You deserve the world's. BEST DAD
I started crying when they were saying the prayers. God bless this baby and all her endeavors. With parents like them, I know that she's going to succeed 🎉❤
Amyah has grown into such a beautiful young lady. I’m so proud of her. Congratulations to mom and Dad for raising a well balanced daughter who loves the Lord and is not ashamed to praise him publicly.
Amyahs reaction when she got to her room "God is so good! I felt that too! You're one blessed and grateful person. May the Lord go ahead of you in everything you do. And thanks to you Joe & Alena for being a great role model to your children.
It's hard for a Dad to see his daughter evolving into adulthood. And he can not protect her from afar. Joe is learning what a Faith walk is all about. When a parent feels helpless, God knows, and He will protect your daughter. Journey well. Amyah! Great job, parents. You prepared her well, and she will reflect her home-rearing to the world.
💯 ❤ Yes, even I cried. I don't have a child I'm sending off to college but just imagining how they are feeling, I felt all that. When you said "learning what the faith walk is all about.." whew..that was deep. But your so right.
@@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 a woman who raised my only son alone with his dad in the background looking on, I so appreciate Joe and I’m so hoping that as she matures Amaya continues to color him Father. 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 God bless you, Joe God bless all the children that you are raising. God bless your marriage and your future in the name of the Lord.
Oh my goodness I remember watching this channel when I was first going to college and Amyah being little. I’m now 28 and I can’t believe how fast time flies! So happy to be reintroduced to this channel and to see this part of y’all’s journey! Beyond proud!!
Amen! Angels camped around Amyah while on the COLLEGE campus, away from family, a new chapter in her life, and the families life. You have been raised to know right from wrong, and to know and worship God, and noone will take that away from you! Be blessed, be that leader I see in you, remain focused, and never forget where you've come from. I thank your parents for raising you to be the warrior you are, and being parents! God Bless you young lady!😊
Such an emotional video. Joe just set the bar so high for all fathers out there and especially stepparents. That unconditional love is just amazing. We to go Joe. Good luck Amyah. Alana and Joe thanks for raising amazing kids.
I tell you , I felt Amayah's excitement, and when she said - "God is sooooo good", I felt that!😊 It feels sooo good when we see our kids acknowledge God in their lives. I feel that is the BEST legacy we can leave for our kids. I am super proud of Dad and Mum for instilling those spiritual teachings in her life- she will NEVER forget! Congrats to the whole family, and YES, God is good ALL the time.
“Amyah don’t tell yourself you can’t do stuff”. Is this moment I felt joes presents. Joe is there but as shown in the prayer scene he’s emotions are rather mysterious but his reaction in this moment I felt that. Amyah you got this your family is your rock. Mom, dad and your siblings.
I love the excitement Amyah had when she saw the room, and praising God. It made me smile. such a precious moment with the parents. I wish her the best. The end statement by Joe was beautiful, 'Letting go and moving forward.'
So beautiful. She literally grew up right before our eyes and I’m so proud of her. I pray she stay rooted and grounded in God and His Word and continue to soar!
I'm literally crying tears of joy for Amyah. Mom and Dad has done an exceptional job raising her. Keep God first and everything else will fall in place. Blessings on blessings! 🎉🙏🏾
I literally smiled through the entire video. While Joe prayed, I questioned his breaks between words, then I realized he was tearing. My eyes became "warm/heated"...😢 Love a family that prays together and shows outward expressions of love.❤
I'm asking cause I'm missing info here, but is Joe a step dad or biological dad? Was there a second marriage? They look nothing alike. I only started watching a few months ago.
im only 25 but i've been watching this channel for yearsss and i am just feeling so much joy seeing Amyah grow up and get to experience college. God bless her and her journey!✨
The Love of God poured out from Joe. That's why he shed tears. That moment of silence made way for God and the Angels to fill that room. You are all so precious and so loved. Thank you for sharing this bittersweet moment with us. Congratulations to Amyah. Go forth and spread your Light! ✨️
May God continue to bless you Amaya on your adult journey and your life. Keep your faith strong despite the challenges and negativity. You are blessed to have a loving God and family to fall back on.
Shalom.....Absolutely beautiful prayer and example of KINGDOM cutlivation and Family love! A truly moving moment to see and hear the spirit of the living God through each of them 😀
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 love this family and channel so much!! I LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE CHRISTIANS AND THEY LOVE JESUS AND ARE NOT ASHAMED TO LET THE WORLD KNOW!!! I cried with Joe when he was Praying, the Prayer was straight from his heart!!
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! ❤
Thanks for sharing this amazing video(great content).I remember when she started middle school.Couldn't help shedding tears,(Joe is such a great father)where has the time gone? You are the best parents. God bless you!!!❤🙏❤
I am in tears watching this video. I’ve watched you all for years now, and I am just so happy to see glimpses of your family’s expansion. This is such an awesome moment. ❤❤❤
Oh, why am I crying? This is so intense. We , your internet Aunties, are praying for you. Stay rooted, be you, and congratulations on this journey. You got this.
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.
I was crying myself. Very moved by Amayh's accomplishments! So proud of her! With God, Alena and Joe have done a fantastic job raising Amayh. She is blessed to have loving role models as parents.
"I am fearfully happy for her" that's it! Those are the words I have been searching for, to express why I cry every time my children hit a benchmark in their development 😊
19:25 This is so beautiful, wonderful family, God is soo good! 🙏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks for sharing, congrats and much success to you Queen. Remember what your parents said “stay rooted in the Word of God”. So, you can continue growing, be a blessing, and be blessed’ ❤
Hey family! Amya’s we watched you grow up. Such a beautiful young Queen. Let God continue to lead you in the right direction. Prayer and blessings to you always!
I'm literally crying because I've been watching them from the very beginning and she feels like my daughter 😭. May God continue to bless you during your new chapter of life ❤❤🙏🙏
Now that is the way you leave a child at college. These parents prayed God’s blessings & protection & guidance over their daughter. This video brought me to tears. I pray that Amyah will enjoy every moment of this season in her life. God Bless.
The university stage is one of the most beautiful stages of study, and it shows self-reliance and parental pride. I graduated from college last September. Looking at younger people going through this experience is a beautiful and nostalgic thing. I wish you all the best.
It was so special watching her grow up and stay rooted and grounded in her faith. That alone is so special for her generation. I’ve always felt that Amayah is destined for greatness. Staying connected for the journey ❤ and yes I was shedding those tears with you Joe. 😢. You’ve done an amazing job mom and dad! She is ready! ❤️😢
I kept face the entire time when we moved my son into his dorm. The moment we hit the road I cried like a baby. I was thanking God the entire time. Love this for you all
17:57-18:20 🥺 such a great lesson/ talk to have/tell your daughter and it definitely blessed me. That’s one way to stay humble thank you so much Mazelee. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD
As one chapter ends, another one begins. So proud of you Amyah!!!! I know you're going to do awesome. You are totally right. GOD is so good!!! 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!!!!!
I am so glad that I've had the opportunity to follow your family all these years. How exciting for you all! Amaya, may you continue to feel free and blessed in the Lord as you learn more about yourself and grow in your faith. Just remember that you have a whole HUGE international family praying for your well-being and success. Get 'em girl!!!!
It’s great to catch you guys live! So excited for Amyah! You will do well, young lady because you’ve had a strong, spiritual base. Good on you, Joe and Alena. 🙏🏾🥰
I’ve been watching since she in middle school and it’s such a blessing to see what a beautiful, intelligent, bright young lady she has become. Let’s see what this new chapter will bring. To the parents, feeling proud is an understatement. My heart is full of joy for the both of you. Continue to pray and keep God in your heart always and He will never steer you wrong. ❤❤
Dang it Joe, you had me crying too. I dropped my youngest daughter off at Brown in August and this brought back those memories. I’m so proud of you young ladies! ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾#Make us proud 😊
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.
I have been watching Amyah journey through her channel and just saw this and WOW it made me cry. Seeing her grow over the years and to reach a new milestone with love, health, family and faith is the best thing. God bless you all and great job raising your babies you two.
Joe reminds me of my father who is helping and praying for me during this difficult period. Be blessed Joe, we need more father's like you, proud of their daughters.
Now, I'm crying too!! Congratulations Amyah! Praise the Lord for all the blessings and good things he has given you and your family. This video was a sweet reminder for me, when I dropped off my only child at college. Now, he's in his last year of college. How time flies by!! Enjoy every day and establish your life in the Lord's plan. Lots of love and prayers!!❤🙏🧸💻📚💌📬🎶🧻🛏👖👚👟🎒
Wow! She is officially at Uni! What a blessing for her, her parents and siblings to see her walk into the next phase of her life. I remember this for my son and there is nothing like it. Congratulations!
Daddy Joe is so proud of her. A Dad is not genetics only, but love, dedication and emotional investment, plus he is a Christian, pure-hearted. In his heart he is her Dad!
Amen
Amen
He is not her dad.
She is not his seed. TRUTH
He appears to be a good dad figure.

You can get the feel that both parents are reliving their college experience while experiencing it with Amyah. This is perfect.

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.
Joe is deep, very deep! His heart does more of the communication than his lips!!! Good luck Amaya, God got you!
I was crying myself. Very moved by Amayh's accomplishments! So proud of her! With God, Alena and Joe have done a fantastic job raising Amayh. She is blessed to have loving role models as parents.
Many Blessings Amyah and I love the advice your mom gave you..."Remember to stay in the Word" God will see you through this journey.
"I am fearfully happy for her" that's it! Those are the words I have been searching for, to express why I cry every time my children hit a benchmark in their development 😊
19:25 This is so beautiful, wonderful family, God is soo good! 🙏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks for sharing, congrats and much success to you Queen. Remember what your parents said “stay rooted in the Word of God”. So, you can continue growing, be a blessing, and be blessed’ ❤
So proud of her! Watched her grow up… what a special moment for your family! Congratulations!
Hey family! Amya’s we watched you grow up. Such a beautiful young Queen. Let God continue to lead you in the right direction. Prayer and blessings to you always!
Now, that is a dad. Bless him
I'm literally crying because I've been watching them from the very beginning and she feels like my daughter 😭. May God continue to bless you during your new chapter of life ❤❤🙏🙏
Now that is the way you leave a child at college. These parents prayed God’s blessings & protection & guidance over their daughter. This video brought me to tears. I pray that Amyah will enjoy every moment of this season in her life. God Bless.
Why am I crying. That is a powerful prayer from parents. Wish I had that when going to college. You are blessed Amyah
The university stage is one of the most beautiful stages of study, and it shows self-reliance and parental pride. I graduated from college last September. Looking at younger people going through this experience is a beautiful and nostalgic thing. I wish you all the best.
Joe you are a proud father. Great to see your heart and spirit show for your daughter. Your words are wonderfully shared also. Great video!
It was so special watching her grow up and stay rooted and grounded in her faith. That alone is so special for her generation. I’ve always felt that Amayah is destined for greatness. Staying connected for the journey ❤ and yes I was shedding those tears with you Joe. 😢. You’ve done an amazing job mom and dad! She is ready! ❤️😢
Beautiful family, May God continue to bless them, and all the best Amyah
I kept face the entire time when we moved my son into his dorm. The moment we hit the road I cried like a baby. I was thanking God the entire time. Love this for you all
Heaven loves it when a father talks to The Father... ❤
17:57-18:20 🥺 such a great lesson/ talk to have/tell your daughter and it definitely blessed me. That’s one way to stay humble thank you so much Mazelee. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD
As one chapter ends, another one begins. So proud of you Amyah!!!! I know you're going to do awesome. You are totally right. GOD is so good!!! 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!!!!!
Having parents like these is the most beautiful and blessing ever❤
I am so glad that I've had the opportunity to follow your family all these years. How exciting for you all! Amaya, may you continue to feel free and blessed in the Lord as you learn more about yourself and grow in your faith. Just remember that you have a whole HUGE international family praying for your well-being and success. Get 'em girl!!!!
Joe is such a kind man. The video was so emotional. Go on Amyah and leave your mark in the world
It’s great to catch you guys live! So excited for Amyah! You will do well, young lady because you’ve had a strong, spiritual base. Good on you, Joe and Alena. 🙏🏾🥰
So happy to see the entire family praising God for this amazing experience. Mom and dad's sage advice will surely take Amyah far.
I’ve been watching since she in middle school and it’s such a blessing to see what a beautiful, intelligent, bright young lady she has become. Let’s see what this new chapter will bring. To the parents, feeling proud is an understatement. My heart is full of joy for the both of you. Continue to pray and keep God in your heart always and He will never steer you wrong. ❤❤
i dropped a tear. what a prayer! real christians. it’s so wonderful to see such a wholesome life. so pleasant. thank you.
Thanking GOD how the moves have been made for you and your family. Always praises and giving him the glory🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good job Joe, I wish all step dads will appreciate and love the children they are entrusted with. Thank you Joe my eye wells with tears of joy.
Dang it Joe, you had me crying too. I dropped my youngest daughter off at Brown in August and this brought back those memories. I’m so proud of you young ladies! ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾#Make us proud 😊
So happy for her. She is very blessed to have parents like you two.
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.
"We can also pray in the presence of others," Go Mya, love that.
I have been watching Amyah journey through her channel and just saw this and WOW it made me cry. Seeing her grow over the years and to reach a new milestone with love, health, family and faith is the best thing. God bless you all and great job raising your babies you two.
When a family is filled with love and affection, everything will be more beautiful
I love her humility and gratitude, she's a gem!❤🎉💯🙌🏽
What a beautiful blessed send off..may God always watch over her. Such Loving parents.
Joe reminds me of my father who is helping and praying for me during this difficult period. Be blessed Joe, we need more father's like you, proud of their daughters.
Wow Joe, I felt that. ❤❤. You are an excellent father figure ❤
Now, I'm crying too!! Congratulations Amyah! Praise the Lord for all the blessings and good things he has given you and your family. This video was a sweet reminder for me, when I dropped off my only child at college. Now, he's in his last year of college. How time flies by!! Enjoy every day and establish your life in the Lord's plan. Lots of love and prayers!!❤🙏🧸💻📚💌📬🎶🧻🛏👖👚👟🎒
Wow! She is officially at Uni! What a blessing for her, her parents and siblings to see her walk into the next phase of her life. I remember this for my son and there is nothing like it. Congratulations!
