Our Little Flowers Family: Dedicating Micah*

Today we got to dedicate our little baby. :) It makes my heart happy just thinking about it again! We invited our families to come and be a part of it and it was wonderful to see 3 1/2 rows filled up with people we love so much! The whole point in dedicating Micah to God is to publically say we will try our best to raise him up to be a man of integrity, who loves God with his whole heart. It brings a new level of accountability when you stand in front of your church and your family proclaiming to raise this baby up in the House of the Lord.
I am still in awe of the fact that we get to raise Micah and teach him about this God we love and serve. I can't wait to see the expression of wonder and excitement on his face when he understands the Bible stories we read to him. Or the day he truly understands what Jesus did for him. Micah is going to do extraordinary things for God, I believe it with all of my heart. I am raising a man who will go out to all the nations and tell the world about God's love. I need to remember this as tough times come,when he starts to grow up into those teenager years, or when he thinks I don't understand the things he is going through, or the first time he brings home a girl...yikes! God has Micah's whole life in his hands. And my heart is secure in knowing that the God of this universe is in control of my son's life.
We had a little taco party afterward to hangout and celebrate! It was a lot fun talking and catching up with family and friends. I am so grateful that my parents have been so generous in letting us use their house not only to celebrate, but for us to live in and raise our first child. They have been such a big help! I love that our child has both sets of grandparents deeply involved in his life. And I am thankful that they both love Jesus and will help raise Micah in a Christ centered atmosphere.
God has blessed us tremendously!
