Dedicated to the Lord

On July 4, 2008, God blessed our family with our 4th child, Parker Levi:

And today, March 29, 2009, Jonathan and I dedicated Parker to the Lord during the Baby Dedication ceremony at out church, FBC Powell. Through dedicating Parker to the Lord, we are acknowledging that he is a precious gift from God, and that we, by faith, are surrendering him to God's plans and purposes for His glory. This is a huge milestone for us in that we are committing before God and our church family that we will raise Parker according to God's plan by fulfilling the biblical responsibilities given to us as his parents. Please be in prayer for Jonathan and I, and that we will be able to live up to this important responsibility that has been entrusted upon us as Parker's primary spiritual teacher and mentor.
David Trent, the Elder of Family Ministry at FBC Powell, introduced Parker to the church along with 15 other babies. Parker was given his first bible and a special letter that we are to save for his spouse.
We look forward to watching Parker grow and learn to love and serve the Lord. We love you Parker Levi! You are truly one of God's most precious gifts!

Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:5-7
