Jude's Rite of Passage

Jude is starting Kindergarten this week and Marc took Jude out for is first Rite of Passage! He was so excited and asked me all day on Friday when Daddy was getting home!! They drove to Searcy late Friday night and stayed at Gma and Big Daddy's house. The next morning Big Daddy and Marc got up and set up the scavenger hunt while Gma and Jude read books.

This first picture is Jude with his map that Big Daddy drew up (not to scale I'm sure..hehe) for him to find his armor! Marc and Jude had read Ephesians 6 before the hike so Jude knew what he was looking for!!

The Belt of Truth!

(rock climbing belt that Jude used later that day!)
Breastplate of Righteousness!

(Under armor...perfect wording for what they were reading about!)
Shield of Faith and Feet fitted with readiness!

(wrist bands are the shield and Witness bracelets are around his ankles)
Helmet of Salvation!

(climbing and bike helmet)
Sword of the Spirit!!

(A friend of ours made this when Adam did his rite of passage and we had him make two at the time, so they both now have matching swords!)

A Strong Warrior for Our Lord was lifted up this weekend!! To God Be All the GLORY!!!!!

We Love you Jude and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for you!
