Elijah Dedication

In addition to Grace's party this past weekend, we headed to Austin for Elijah's baby dedication. It was such a special day, especially since my Papa, a pastor in Austin for about 60 years, dedicated me when I was a baby, married Cliff and I and dedicated Grace. So to say the least, it was a very special occasion with the whole family there. Cliff also stood up and said a few words about Elijah and what his name means to our family. It was a special message and our parents prayed over our son and us as parents. We are so blessed by our Lord and by our family that we have so many tools, prayers and encouragement to be the parents God has called us to. It is a huge responsibility, and during his dedication we were both reminded of the tremendous honor it is to raise children up to be servants of our King, Jesus Christ. Eljiah...you are an incredible gift from God, and we believe you have a very special purpose and voice as the prophet Elijah did in the scriptures. We are already so proud of you buddy...and always will be.
