This past Sunday we dedicated Elliott at our church. We do dedications once a year, so Elliott was by far one of the oldest one to get dedicated. While all of the other babies were looking precious, he tried to take the microphone away from Jeff and did the worm in my arms. Not the teary-eyed moment I pictured.

"Father God, we thank you for this amazing and joyful gift you have given us in our son, Elliott William Green. We thank you for our new family, our families and this family at The Paradox Church that have all been amazing gifts from you. We are excited and completely overwhelmed about being parents but we have the perfect encouragement of having you as our Father, the perfect Father who has showed us perfect love.
We ask for you to continue to show us yourself and show us how you parent as Elliott continues to grow. We ask for you to guide us so that our parenting is not about do's and don'ts but about your will for our lives, our home and our children. Above everything else we ask that Elliott know you and your love for him. We ask that he may come to know you as quickly as possible in his life and that he may lead and live a life of courage because of your love for him and that he may glorify your name and enjoy you forever.
Please give Bailey and myself grace as we will fail you and Elliott but let us remember the most important gift you have given us in your son Jesus Christ; his life and his death and his new life that you have given us."
