There was a wedding in Cana...
The supply of wine gave out,
and Jesus’ mother told him,
and Jesus’ mother told him,
“They have no more wine.”
“Is that our concern?” replied Jesus.
“My time has not come yet.”
So his mother said to the servants,
“Do whatever he tells you.”
I was reading this portion of Scripture this morning,
remembering the time of blessing we had last night
for Tyson, who just turned 21.
We had invited those who had played
a significant role in his life up to this point--
a significant role in his life up to this point--
pastors (including his former basketball coach),
discipler, teachers, family friends, and a few of his friends.
We spoke a new season over his life,
one of maturity and manhood.
We released him to walk that out with
righteousness, humility, integrity and honor.
When Jesus was at the wedding,
His "time had not yet come."
When His mother told the servant
to do whatever Jesus said,
to do whatever Jesus said,
she released Him into His time.
Jesus only did what His Father told Him,
but His earthly parent released Him
into His next season.
into His next season.
I marvel at the privilege God gives us
as parents to speak identity over
our sons and daughters and call them
out of one season into another.

our sons and daughters and call them
out of one season into another.
Last night was one of the more powerful times
we have experienced as parents,
listening to the words of
affirmation and blessing over Tyson.

The evening was filled with moments
that were symbolic and prophetic.

A powerful time of calling him
into maturity and manhood.

Speaking a new season over his life.
Just as Mary did at the wedding in Cana.
So very grateful to Father God
for trusting us with this
amazing son.
What a privilege.
