Praise Him
Elyse has a children's Christian CD that she often wants to hear if she is tired of Christian radio. One song she loves is titled, "Praise Him." Almost every time it comes on I catch her praising God. Today, I quickly grabbed my phone and took a picture. Watching her praise God brings not only joy and smiles to my face, but I know His' as well.

Being a Safe Family
First off, many of you may be asking, "What are Safe Families?"
To put it in the simplest form, Safe Families is a network of Christian families that extend their community safety net by providing parents in need with a loving sanctuary for their children in time of crisis.
When our church's adoption ministry, village127 began partnering with Bethany Christan Services and Safe Families, Nate and I knew that we were called to step up and serve in this ministry.
Well, yesterday we received our first call for a little five year old boy. Needless to say he is doing great and so are the rest of us. Elyse has enjoyed another friend to play with during the day and he is very respectful. I know I still have three more days and today probably is just the honeymoon stage, but I am hopeful the good will continue to outweigh the bad. So for now, we are continuing to pray to God and rely on Him to get us through the next few days. We believe this is what He wants from us and therefore, we are joyfully obeying Him.
If you have any other questions or would like more information on being a Safe Family, please e-mail or call. We'd be more than happy to share!!!!

Noah's Ark
One of the greatest joys Nate and I get as parents is teaching Elyse about God and His word. Elyse was given a baby bible as a gift and recently has enjoyed seeing pictures and talking about Noah and Jesus. She LOVES to play with her Little People Noah's Ark set. Noah by far is her favorite of all the things and animals in the ark. The reason for the video is because I think it's priceless what she calls Noah, I can't get enough of it and wanted to share it with you, enjoy.
