On November 16, Paul and I participated in our church's baby dedication. The definition above accurately describes how we have committed to raise Jonas...we've bound ourselves to raising him to be someone who chooses to follow Jesus with his whole heart. And, man, our prayer everyday is that Jonas would choose that course of action.
Deciding to participate in the dedication was hard for us for a few reasons. One being that our families live so far away and couldn't be with us. They were with us in spirit that day. It was fun for us to have our small group stand with us and agree to come along side of us as we parent Jonas. Another reason it was hard for us was because we were acknowledging Jonas as God's. That is hard for me at times...to know that ultimately Jonas isn't mine.
Anyway, here are some pictures.

How very special. We haven't done that yet, and I'm not sure why except that we haven't scheduled it with our pastor.
You look great too Sarah!
What a great time! It IS hard, to acknowledge that God can do with Jonas as He wills...I feel that I am the one who will protect Luke...
It is encouraging to see your obedience. Great pics!
1. Great Hair Sarah!
2. It's so hard to give them over to God. I totally could not have done what Abraham did.
3. We were there in spirit too!
