Dedication Day

   Today was Titus' dedication at church. It was a day at church where in front of our forever family we thanked God for giving us Titus, committed to raising him to love and follow God and then our forever family committed to helping us with this task. It was a special day! There were six other families that made the same commitments with us today. It was such a blessing to see God working in the young families of our church.
    I dressed Ti up in little khakis and a sweater vest and boat shoes- so cute! I panicked about what to wear up on stage...in front of a couple hundred people. I also panicked about what I should say when I was given the microphone. Then I realized that I was putting myself in a much more important position than I needed to be! This day was about committing to raising our son the way God commands and committing to relying on His help, not about what Ti looks like, what I'm wearing or what I'm saying!

Thank you God for once again pointing out my pride, for humbling me and bringing me back to what is important- honoring you with everything I say, think, or do. Thank you for Titus and the blessing he is! Please teach us to be the parents Titus needs and continue to grow and stretch our faith in You. We can't do this on our own and I'm so grateful for that! Thank you for the promise that you will never leave us and that with You we can do anything You have called us to!
