Dedication

On Father's Day, we were so excited to have the opportunity to have Raylen dedicated at our church. For those of you who don't know, dedication is not baptism or an act imparting salvation, but it is a time set apart to present our family to the Lord, ask His blessing and commit to raise our daughter to love and honor Christ. This day for us ranked as high as the day her adoption became final. We are keenly aware each day that even the small things we teach her shape her life for the future and to formally commit her and ourselves before God is a special and miraculous thing.

Speaking of miracles....in the pictures I hope you can make out that the word MIRACLES is on display. The word is there in reference to the current message series our Pastor is preaching. I loved seeing it there as a happy "accident" that reminded me of the miracle that God alone has done in placing Raylen in our family. Again, thank you to everyone who has prayed for us along the way and who continues to pray for additions to our home. We deal with fear, doubt and weak faith each day, but having been reminded of God's faithfulness before, I am convinced again that He will make a way again.
