Baby Dedication

Today was Natalie's dedication at church. This is not to be confused with a baptism or christening. As Baptist, our dedication is simply a statement that Brian and I, as her parents, promise to raise her in the church, in a Christian home as the Lord would see fit. We give her to the Lord, and pray that one day she will give her heart to Him. We were so thankful and blessed to have both parents there. Aunts and uncles couldn't make it, but we understood. Precious memories.......
 There were 9 other babies being dedicated this morning with Natalie, and 2 others were adoptions, too! Of course, we asked them to mention that NJ was adopted, but they didn't. Not sure who forgot to do what, but oh well!
 Like 'Lion King,' the dads always hold up the babies for the congregation and choir to see! OOHS and AHHS always follow. Brian was disappointed NJ didn't get more than she did. So funny!
Our prayers for her to one day give her life to the Lord.
We are so thankful for family to support us, a church home to help us raise her, and a mighty God who saves us all! Thank you, Lord, for the precious gift in our family.

    Baby Dedication days are always so special, but when it's your baby being dedicated...it's a whole new ball game. I remember Caleb's day was the most special thing in the world...meant so much to us. I know it was the same for y'all with little Natalie! I love the picture of Brian holding her up...proud proud Daddy (as he should be;) So happy for you and Brian. God is so faithful! I NEED to see y'all soon! Way too long without some Whitney time! :) Love you!
