Shifting Into Overdrive

This is another one of those hectic days, Lord, where I'm forced to shift into overdrive. I'm meeting myself coming and going. Forgetting why I came in this room, easily distracted. Although the things I must accomplish are good, I'm struggling to keep above all that is happening.

Even though these days are busy, thank YOU for helping me along the way. I tried to simplify today's schedule ahead of time ( my type A personality), but more last minute little things plopped in my lap. You are so wonderful for granting me a joyful heart and the energy to shift into overdrive so I could make it through successfully.

When I feel like I'm spinning my wheels, YOU help me along and sometimes give me a little push. When I get anxious and loose my focus, YOU remind me of YOUR calming presence.

I am happy in your awesomeness and will try to walk in YOUR footsteps. When I get a little wobbly, I praise YOU for holding me up.

Thank YOU, Lord for loving me and helping me relax. For soothing my frustrations. Every time I ask for YOUR guidance, YOU add time to my day.

For this day's help and guidance, I thank YOU, Lord. Please help tomorrow be a little less hectic so I may shift out of overdrive.

MAMA'S REVIEWS

I am privileged to have a wonderful mother that cares and that is willing to do. Whatever it takes not just for her family but for others in need. She is loving, determined and charitable. I wouldn't want anyone else but her as my beautiful mother. Mom I Love You.
Your Son,
Donovan

PAYING Forward- Char McNabb
It was in New York the Big Apple year 2010 great things are happening in my family's life my Son Russell Okung is getting drafted to play in the big league what an awesome blessing. I am overwhelmed many things to do places and events to attend, I am excited as well as a bit scared.
Sitting in the green room with Russell and his sister Nicole waiting for his name to be called I see this smiling Lady wearing a #5 Donavan McNabb Jersey walking towards me she hands me a gift bag and introduces herself as Big Mama, gives me a brief gist about her and her organization PFPMA which she was the president at the time and proceeds to further give me contact information.
It felt great I had a leeway there was someone out there who had been in this same position as I was at that time and she was reaching out to me as a mentor. Russell had mentioned to me earlier that he had met Mrs. McNabb at an event the previous night and the Lady had asked about me her name was not familiar to me at the time but it was getting now memorized.
Following week through Wilma Char McNabb I got welcome phone calls and notes in the mail from the Ladies of Pfpma, {Professional Football Players Mother’s Association} The rest is history I did join the organization got a support group whom I could talk to regarding how I could better assist my Son on and off the football field as well as assist our sons in their charitable efforts in the communities from which they came and in which they work not forgetting to support each other.
How do I say thank you? I do that by paying this forward by being of services as well as being a mentor to other new mother coming into the Huge Big Football League Family

Thank you much Mrs. McNabb

Mama McNabb is what she is to me. Upon our arrival to the Eagles in 2000, Jon and I were invited to her Offensive Players dinner at the home of her Eagles QB son. This was a way to bond with other players families, realizing how important it was to trust and cherish not only their teammates but, forge friendships like I have with her and the rest of the McNabb family.

Char (Mama) McNabb is a woman of unwavering faith and integrity! Over the years our friendship has blossomed because of her honesty, love and respect to the true meaning of what it is to be a sister friend. I cherish the relationship we now have. Also, I am continuously inspired by the way she lives her life...graciously!

Having spent all of my adult life with Wilma, I can say she has been a loving Wife, Mother and my best and closet friend I have ever had, Wilma is a strong, intelligent, passionate and self motivate person that has a unique sense of humor and a keen sense of discernment in dealing with people. I have shared a great and rewarding life with this beautiful women I call my wife.

God Bless you in all your endeavors!
