Dedication

We had the wonderful pleasure of dedicating Karis back to the Lord yesterday. Page was able to come home from drill for a day so he came back Saturday night and was able to go to church with us on Sunday. We went back to First Baptist Spartanburg for our last service with this precious congregation that welcomed us and has loved on us for the past 2 years. Karis slept through the service and was very good. She worshipped God while dreaming. ( She likes to raise her hands while she sleeps).

At the end of the service Dr. Wilton called us up on stage. He prayed for both Page and I as parents that God would lead us and give us wisdom. He then took Karis and prayed blessings over her as she grew. He prayed that she would come to a saving knowledge of God at an early age and that she would have a heart that seeks after Him.

For you women out there, Karis wore a very pretty white dress with while booties and a white hair bow. I can actually clip it in her hair. No toothpaste needed for this girl. She was so cute.

Page and I realized back at the beginning of this journey that Karis, or any child that God blesses us with, belong to God. We have been give children to disciple and raise for the Lord. They are not and never will be ours. We have them on loan for the time that God sees fit to loan them to us. He has created them for a purpose and has given us the opportunity to teach them the things He has taught us. We are very excited to see the plans that God has for Karis. He has many plans to prosper and give her hope and a future. Aren't we the blessed ones to be apart of it all.
