Elijah's Dedication

Here are some pictures from Elijah's dedication at church. He did really well up there through all the talking and the prayer. Josiah and Asher did a good job, too. Josiah clung on to my leg the entire time (most if the time his face was buried in my legs) and Asher was hamming it up big time. At one point he bent over, looked through his legs and raised his arms in the air.
The passage we chose was Habukkuk 3:18,19. "I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be be joyful in God my Savior. God the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to go on the heights."

"Elijah" means "God is the Lord" in Hebrew
We liked this verse because we want him to know his strength and joy come from the Lord...no matter where his life takes him, he can trust that God is with him, helping him and guiding him.

anyway, here are some pics...






The woman in the picture is Pat Croasmun, the director of Children's Ministry at church. She knows Elijah pretty well, which was special to us (:
