Zoe's Dedication...sharing what is on my heart

Having children is God's way of sharing His love for us WITH us. He gives us the largest responsibility wrapped up in the tiniest of packages. As Daniel and Zoe's Mommy and Daddy it is our God given job to raise them as His children. To raise two of God's angels to be a Godly man and woman. To prepare them to one day be Godly spouses for whomever has been chosen for them.

To think that our love for our children does not even begin to touch the love God has for all of us, is awe-inspiring. Therefore, it is with much joy, great excitement, and a little trepidation that we accept this difficult task.

We promise to raise Zoe and Daniel in such a way that they reflect Jesus and His love wherever they may go. We commit to our children and our families to raise our children by following the example you set when you raised us. We promise to always make our home a loving home. We promise to give our children the room they need to grow, with the loving boundaries they will also need to help them learn discipline. In whatever tasks may lie ahead for them, we promise to equip them as best we know how. We therefore dedicate ourselves as parents, and our children to God.

We have learned how to parent from watching this congregation. From watching individual parents nurture their kiddos, to being nurtured by this church as if we were it's offspring. We have so much more to learn, and we ask simply that you be willing to share. We ask that you be willing to teach, to pray, to help us seek.
