Olivia's Dedication

Today was Olivia's dedication ceremony at the church. Some churches baptize newborn babies. Our church believes in dedicating children of any age to Christ. This does not guarantee Olivia's salvation as she will someday have to make that decision on her own, but it is us dedicating her life to the Lord. We are allowing God's will over her life and committing to raise her in a Godly home as the Bible says: "Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not stray from it." Proverbs 22:6

Following the ceremony was a carry-in dinner and a baby shower for Olivia. Lola had fun playing with cousins Alexis and Ella while Olivia got passed around between family members and friends.

Baby dedications are so precious. I've found that as mine are growing I often remind myself of that moment and say, God, they are yours, and your plan is better than mine. Help me trust you.

Looks like a fun day!
