Dedication

Our last photo as a family of three.




On Mother's Day we had our Parent-Child Dedication at Old Fort. We moved to Summerville when Cannon was 4 months old and it took a awhile to find a church home. When we finally decided God wanted us at Old Fort it was Mother's Day 2009. At our church they only have child dedications once a year so we missed it!

So this year , May 9, 2010, we were finally able to dedicate Cannon. It was a great experience and it was really nice to be able to spend time with Brett trying to decide on a scripture verse with significance to both of us and to become a "life verse" in a sense to Cannon.

Our church does a great job of incorporating the church members into this dedication as well. Both the parents, family, and the church members to make a covenant to help raise the child in a christian home, support, teach and lead the child on a Godly path. It is very touching.

We chose the following scripture for Cannon:

Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law of my servant Moses gave you, do not turn from it to the right or left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth, meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

-Joshua 1:7-10.




Thank you to all of you that came to share in this very special day with us!
We love you very much!
