Yesterday, our friends Rogie and Leila experienced the birth of their firstborn, Elijah R. 

I promised Leila I wouldn’t expose all the pictures so she could have the honor of showing him on his birthday, but hopefully I can sneak one or two in :).  If you know the couple, you’d know how long they’ve been praying for a baby, and yesterday, we were able to see the result of God’s authorship from all the prayers for this baby. 

I took and chose this picture because the first time we found out about Elijah, Rogie gave me a picture of his ultrasound to keep and asked us to partner in praying for him. So for the rest of the nine months, we remembered him in our prayers. And now, he’s here :).

And here’s ninong Perze with his godson.

Congrats Rog and Lei!  
You’ll be great parents!
