Dedicate...to the one I love

Jaden was dedicated to the Lord today!!! Here is a copy of our dedication speech...

"You are an absolutely beautiful child. Jaden means “God has heard” and when we first saw you, we knew that God had answered every prayer we lifted up about you. We dedicate you today because we believe firmly in the Lord Jesus Christ and the importance of honoring you unto the Lord as Hannah did for Samuel in the Word. You are a gift from the Lord and we promise to raise you in light of His grace.
Not only will we tell you of God’s good deeds, but we will teach you about His character, embrace you in His mercy and walk with you on your spiritual discovery. As parents we will help you find your gifts and help you experience the wonderful joy of the spiritual disciplines—prayer, reading the Word and serving others. Jaden, we feel so privileged to be your parents, and we will do our very best to shine God’s love on you."

A shout out to MC & Bernice for being there and taking pictures for us.
