We thank God for our journey this far. We thank God for His grace and mercy toward us as a family. We thank God for a life well lived and still being lived by the power of His grace and mercy. Our family is clearly nothing and no one without the Lord Jesus and His abundant mercies and grace toward us. Jesus has been so good. He has been so amazing and has brought us through so much. We are here today because of His grace, His love and His unending commitment to us and to our well being. When we think about our lives and about where God has brought us from, we are in awe of His richness, mercies, favor and grace. We met in 2000, ironically in church and it's so amazing to see that we are still living our lives daily in God's presence; being present still in His house. The day we met was magical! It was almost like the room faded out and everyone focused on us. We started talking, then dated for about two years. We tied the knot on August 24, 2002. It's amazing how time flies! Almost 17 years since we committed to loving each other and living our lives as a family intended by God. It's been an amazing journey full of laughs, joys, and sometimes tears. But all in all, God has been faithful. We have no regrets. If we had to do it all over again, we will still want God to honor Himself like He always has, in us and with us. We definitely have grown together. Truly two peas in a pod. Not only have we grown as people, but we have grown as vessels of God; loving others and learning to serve with hearts full of love and compassion. Lord Jesus, please know that we so value You and appreciate You for everything You have done and are still doing. We thank You for Your generosity and the life You have helped us to live thus far and for the journey ahead. To all our family and friends, we appreciate you for standing by us and with us through the years. Thank you for all you have done and are still doing. We love you and we celebrate you. Drs. Joseph and Lolade Siju

We are most thankful to God for our beautiful children, Deborah, Michael and David. The Lord honored us after seven years of waiting on and trusting in Him. We give God alone, all the glory for His goodness and mercies.
