What a great day today was! Today we dedicated before the Lord that we will do our best to raise Caroline in such a way that we pray she falls in love with the Lord. That we dedicate to do our part, to set her up, hopefully, to hear the Holy Spirit. We gathered w/ Jason's parents, and brother Justin and our dear friend Wendy Henderson and kids Jesse and Cole this afternoon. Our Church has changed the format of baby D so that it really falls more on an afternoon of parents sharing our vision if you will for our household. We had a time of prayer over us and Caroline, a time of sharing our vision, and a time to listen to wise words from a speaker, John Woodall, who is our dear friend and mentor.
For our family who was unable to be with us because miles separate us...here are our values and habits we believe the Lord would have us teach Caroline.
Values: Respect, Honesty, Obedience, Self-Control, Discipline
Habits: Family Time (dinner time, and family outings)
Family Prayer
We pray that the Lord will work through Jason and me to instill these things within our child, so that even when she is with you all she will exhibit these qualities! Thank you Lord for this most amazing gift and journey of parenthood. We love our job!
