Joshua's Baby Dedication

I remember grocery shopping one time while I was pregnant and it hit me, right there in Wal-Mart; God KNOWS my child.  He knows every single detail about him and his life.  Instead of making decisions for Joshua based on what I think or what I have read, I should seek Him for wisdom and guidance in EVERY situation.  Joshua is a unique individual who is "fearfully and wonderfully made" by the Lord.  The Lord knows all his needs and He wants to guide me as Joshua's Mom.

One of my prayers as a Mom is "Lord teach me about my son."  It blows my mind that God cares about every detail.  As moms we have so many questions and so many doubts. 

This weekend we had Joshua dedicated.  This was a special time for us to stand with our family before our church and say, "Lord this is your child and I am committed to parenting him according to you ways.  Teach me how to do that."

Parenting is no easy task but I can't think of a better teacher to have than the One who created you and me.   

Here are a few pictures from the ceremony. (Please excuse the poor quality).



Here we are before the ceremony with our pastor, JR.
Joshua can hardly contain his excitement. This picture
is really special to me because Joshua was dedicated by
Pastor JR and Pastor JR also officiated our wedding.
