Madelyn's Dedication

On Sunday, February 1, 2009 MJ and I dedicated Madelyn Jeanne Wivell to Christ. We made the following vows before God, our family, and our church family...

1. Will you do your best to raise this child to honor, revere, and love Jesus Christ? WE WILL!

2. Will you do your best to maintain a home where Jesus Christ is honored and obeyed, where the Word of God is the authority and Jesus Christ is the head? WE WILL!

3. Will you commit this child to God in prayer on a regular basis, trusting God to override your mistakes and make up for your shortcomings? WE WILL!

4. Will you actively rely on the Holy Spirit to raise this child and to incline his or her heart to the Lord? WE WILL!

5. Will you do your best to release this child to the will of God, whatever that might be, without bitterness or resistance? WE WILL!

6. Will you do your best to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, so that this child has godly examples to follow? WE WILL!

Thanks to everyone who came to share in this special event! We are so excited to teach Maddie all about Jesus!

Here are a few pics from the day...

Exhausted from all the attention!
