On Sunday, May 15th, we proudly dedicated Liam at our church ~ Discovery Church.
Parent dedication is a public commitment you make before God, your church, and your family. You express your desire, as parents, to lead & spiritually nurture your son in cooperation with the Holy Spirit, so he will develop a desire to love God and love others.
While it took us a long time to get in gear & get back into church, we are so thrilled with the church we now call home. There is nothing better than watching your child grow to love learning about the Lord & about all the bible stories that you have known since you were a child. While both Stephen & I feel knowledgeable in our faith, we definitely knew we needed to give Liam the opportunity to explore & learn on his own. Plus, he was beginning to ask questions & seek answers that I honestly didn’t feel adequate to answer on my own. We felt the best thing we could give him was this solid foundation to grown upon, but we also needed to lead by example. It has definitely been great for us as a family ❤
Standing before the congregation with Pastor Mike….introducing our family & all praying together.
“For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him. So I have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord.”
1 Samuel 1: 27-28
It was a very special & meaningful morning for our family ❤
Until next time,
Lord, thank you for Stephen and Heather taking Liam and finding a church home. Protect them and guide them as they help Liam learn who you are and how much love you have for them, Amen.
