We had the pleasure of dedicating Mylo in October of 2007. Then just this past Sunday, we dedicated Phinean. These are SUCH special days to me...I had the same anticipation in my heart for them as I did my wedding day. I have looked forward to their dedications since I was pregnant with them!
I can't believe God's abundant grace in giving me my heart's DEEPEST desire...children. He has spoken VERY CLEARLY to me about raising up a generation of people who love Him. I consider it the highest calling in my life, and it is my TOP priority to create a loving, stable home where Jesus is the center.
My mom took some really great pictures of us up front getting prayer for our family and Phinean...
It was a special day indeed, and I can't wait to see God's plan for our family unfold over the years as we walk with Him!
Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord. "I prayed for this child and the Lord granted me what I asked of Him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord."
1 Samuel 1:27
