Baby Dedication

March 28th we held a very intimate and special baby dedication for Jacob in our home. There were a few circumstances that led us down the path of holding this special moment in our home and I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. We had my entire family, Allan's parents, and a few very close friends over for a time of blessing our baby boy and making promises to raise him in a Christian home and teach him Christian morals. We committed to lay the ground work, to the best of our ability, for Jacob to one day choose to accept Jesus into his heart. We know that becoming a Christian is a choice he will have to make for himself one day, we do not believe that we can save him. We pray for wisdom daily that we will raise our children the way that God intends for us too and it was so encouraging to have have family and friends commit to support us as we walk this path. It was such a special time to spend with those closest to us.
**I am so bummed that we did not get a picture with all of my siblings and my nieces and nephews. It gets a little chaotic when we are all together and photo ops like that sometimes get forgotten. Thank you so much for being a part of Jacob's dedication, even though you weren't documented.

I'm sad no one thought to get more pics of all you kids and your kids too, but this precious and Holy event in Jacob's life and in yours will never be forgotten. I'm so glad God led you to do this together with all of us.
