pomp & circumstance

I CAN NOT believe our Ali

has reached this milestone in her life.

Time has flown by, and Brian & I 

are in awe of how Father has guided Alison

and captured her heart for His Kingdom.

working on her speech w/ uncle stephen

ready to shine!!

more bling than mr. T

well, gotta brag a little here...

our baby was the valedictorian.

her speech was amazing, and summed up her heart.

she is confident in who she is in Christ,

and she can spring board off of that truth

to make a difference in this world.

she will be a world changer for the

  Kingdom of God.

youth pastor in the world.
