Asher's Dedication

This past Sunday we had Asher dedicated at church. Since we attend such a large church they do group dedications where all families come down to the front with their children and they pray over everyone together. It was a powerful prayer and such a good reminder to us that Asher was given to us as a gift from the Lord - he is not ours to hold onto but we are simply God's instruments being used to raise this child to love, serve and fear Jesus Christ. Mark and I do pray often that the love, grace and patience of the Lord will be on us as we parent our son and that Asher will come to know Jesus at a young age. It is a humbling and awesome task.

My parents, Mark's mom, and my brother Dustin were able to attend the dedication. (Unfortunately, Mark's dad was out of town!)
