Parent Child Dedication

We were so happy and thrilled to dedicate Eli and Everley together.  Eli was so happy to be up on the stage with the band, and wanted to run around and clap for everybody being announced.  Love them so much, and love that they will learn about Jesus together. 

Our Commitments for Eli and Everley:

1) Pray with Eli and Evi daily, and pray for their salvation and their relationship with Jesus

2) Lead them in a way that shows that we put God first in our household before our marriage, family needs, self desires, etc.

3) Lead by loving them unconditionally the way our Father loves us, and show them the Grace they deserve as He has given us

I love this picture.  If you look closely, Derek is holding Everley with one arm, and holding all of the books they gave us for both children in the other hand.  I am trying to wrangle Eli so he wouldn't run on the stage and play every instrument behind us.  And oh yeah, this was on stage in front of  about a 1,000 person congregation.  LOL - #RealLife
