Dedicated

This past Sunday was a big day for Mr. Mister - it was his baby dedication at church. We stood up front, along with a handful of other parents, to publicly declare our intentions of raising him up to know and follow Jesus. It was a very powerful time for us as a family as we acknowledged the fact that Mr. Mister belongs to God but has been given to us for this time to raise and teach and love. I love thinking about the fact that we have no idea what or who he'll grow up to be, what he'll like doing, what his talents will be...but God already knows those things and has specific purpose for his life.

The weekend was extra fun because both of our families were involved. The whole crew from Pittsburgh came in town for the weekend and all of my family who lives here was at church as well. At one point during the dedication, the extended families were invited up to pray for the babies. I got tears in my eyes seeing our families extending hands to pray for Mr. Mister. It was such a powerful beginning of his life.
