jack's dedication

we had jack's dedication on saturday night at 6:00. it was just perfect! we were planning on doing it outside, but God had other plans. it started down pouring almost right at 6:00. i know that it would have been wonderful outside, but i think it felt so intimate in my parents family room. eric kennedy did the ceremony. he gave a small sermon about talking to your children about God and how amazing He is. eric said that it is our privilege to present our children to the Lord and our duty to raise them in His ways.

jack sat still the whole time and stayed in my arms for the dedication. i am so glad that we did this. i hate that we waited this long to do this, but we just didn't have to right place to do it. we were going to do it at the church that we have been going to, but we had to be members and we just weren't sure that we wanted to join yet because we have only been about 5-10 times. anyway, i think what we did was perfect in God's eyes. we just wanted to say that we are going to raise jack to know God and do all we can do to lead him down the right path. i loved everything that eric said and i loved that our family was there with us.

my dad built this cross for the dedication!
