Noelle Elizabeth Pond

Our adaptation of Luke 2

I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19

“In the Garden”

Noelle, you come from a family lineage of people who are deeply in love with God and committed to living lives of integrity, service, and honor. We, your parents, aspire to teach you that a life that is centered around Jesus is abundantly FULL! We desire for your life to be fun, committed, tender-hearted, honest, gracious, and true.

We commit to teach you, train you, and be an example for you in the way of Jesus Christ, so that when you leave our home, you will not depart from the truths that you have learned. “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” Proverbs 4:23

Noelle, as your mother and father, we are committed to you. We treasure you. We breathe you. We adore you. We promise to pray for you every day of your life, that you will taste and see that the Lord is good. From the core of your soul, it is our earnest prayer that you innately know who God is, and that no matter how hard life gets, you never forget God is there, and that he loves you. We pray that you love God with all of your heart, and in doing so, commit to love the people and the world around you with passion. For you have been given the ultimate gift, life by our Creator, the Lord of heaven and earth.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

“What a Gift” song written for Noelle by her daddy

God, protect Noelle. Put angels around her. She will come against the powers of evil in the world. Guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Empower her with your Spirit. Make her a light on a hilltop that shines with inner beauty, grace, and love so that the world will know how beautiful you are because of the life of Noelle Elizabeth Pond.
