Today was a special day for our foster daugther. We were so honored to stand up with her family and witness them dedicate her to God.
The picture above is John lighting a candle for her. We promised to pray for her, teach her about God and encourage her faith so that like a candle, her light would shine for all the world to see.
Her aunt & I were to hold her as she was sprinkled with water over the "fount", which means womb. It is a symbol of the "second birth", which occurs outside the mother's womb. The pastor explained that although she was born into the sin of Adam & Eve, she now would become a "new creation".
The top picture is of both sides of the family: Sean and his parents and siblings and Kim, with her parents and siblings, and of course of John Whit & I, which they have made us feel like part of the family!
May God bless this precious little girl and may she draw close to her Lord, follow Him and honor Him all the days of her life!
