Today was a beautiful day of celebration.
Dedication...
Celebration of our sweet miracle boy...the sweet boy the Lord perfectly chose for our family...the sweet boy that God miraculous provided for...our precious Solomon! Even though we dedicated you to the Lord long before you came home to us, today we stood before our family and friends...before our Maker and publicly dedicated your life to the Lord. Our promise is to raise you in the ways of the Lord...to help you grow in your knowledge of Him. Our greatest hopes and dreams for you are that you come to know the Lord personally at a young age and that you will choose to live your life fully and solely for Him. God has great, glorious plans for you sweet one! We love you so much!
Solomon was absolutely hysterical today...we all walked up to the front of the church and he was smiling HUGE as if to say, "Look at me...are you all here for me...that's right...it's all about me!" The entire church was laughing...he was soooo precious!
We wanted so badly for daddy to hold him during the dedication but with the chaos of getting our brood up on the stage, somehow I ended up with him.
Promotion...
Today was also another day of celebration but for our big boy! {tears} Our big, baby boy has officially promoted OUT of elementary school and INTO high school...{WWAAHH} How in the world is this possible? Our precious boy is becoming a young man!
Timothy, we are so incredibly proud of you...proud of who you are and who you are becoming. Your compassionate heart for your siblings is amazing and we are certain the Lord is going to use your loving heart mightily. These next 4 years are a huge part of what shapes you into the man you will become. Continue to keep your eyes focused on the Lord. Seek Him in ALL you do and He WILL guide your every footstep. We love you so much and are very proud that you are our son!
Daddy reading his beautiful thoughts, encouragement, prayers, and hopes to our son.
