A Young Man After God’s Heart

Sunday, July 26th was a huge day for our family. Our son Elijah made a decision to go public with his decision to follow Christ! We were honored to baptize Elijah at our new church Cross Point Church. It was a special moment that we were able to share as a family.

There are so many challenges that Elijah has overcome in his young life…speech issues, health issues and social obstacles. But one thing through it all that has continued to grow is his love and devotion to God. He continues to amaze Trisha and me with his desire to know God, to read His Word, to understand His plan and to give more of his heart to Him. We are so proud of Elijah and truly feel like he has been set apart by God to change this world for Him. He is a young man after God’s own heart and he inspires us and challenges us to love God deeper and more passionately. We love you Elijah!

Special Thanks to Mandy Rowland for capturing these precious moments for our family…see more of her work here: Mandymarie.typepad.com

    This is wonderful! Congratulations! We also have an Elijah (we call him Eli). He too loves the Lord in a very grown up way.

    I am very excited to have found your blog yesterday. Our stories have so many similarities! I have been writing our story of recovery and plan to link back to yours today. Thank You for being a great example to others!
