Dedication celebration


As we start another week we are that much closer to moving. Our lives have been so busy(as we know everyone has). We are trying to make the most of every moment we have with our family and friends.

Sunday we celebrated the dedication of our son Matthew to our Lord. We chose Isaiah 49:1,6 to pray over him.
1 Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the LORD called me;
from my birth he has made mention of my name.
6 he says:
"It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."

As we searched for a verse to pray over our son I was reminded of how so many times we were asked while Jodi was pregnant with Matthew "So what does this mean for your move to Jamaica?" My response was "There will be one more person serving God in Jamaica!"
Our children's calling to Jamaica was done before they were even born. God knows what our lives will bring and how he will use us. We are so blessed to be used by God to serve the deaf in Jamaica.We look forward to seeing how God will use not only us but our children.
