alaythia was dedicated today at imago dei community. isaiah went on the stage with us as he will play a role in her life of (Lord willing) loving Jesus.
matt talked about her name and quoted john 1:14, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." that our hope was that she would come to know and continue to be wooed to the one who is grace and truth. and that as she does know him, that she will reflect him as well.
he talked of the importance of family, who was there and many that could not be there, to aid in this process. and our thankfulness to, and belief that we need, imago dei to also show her this one of truth and grace.
we then went and stood down off the stage and those family members, our home community and friends came and put their hands on us and prayed.
our dear alaythia grace, you have been and will continue to be prayed for. may you come to know our great Messiah and King. may you love him deeply walking in sweet relationship with him forever. we love you so much.

Good job speaking, Matt. I totally pictured you as one of my college professors. Yes, I am a little emotional right now but I truly was fighting back the tears just knowing what a special little girl Alaythia is and just thinking about the lives she's going to touch her whole life.
