Sunday, December 4th, was parent-child dedication at our church. Tripp and I were so glad to take part in this and dedicate our precious Catherine to the Lord and dedicate ourselves to raising her in a loving Christian home and pointing her always toward Jesus. Leading up to dedication Sunday we were required to take 2 parenting classes at our church. These classes were very encouraging and challenging. The classes discussed being intentional with your faith at home. Tripp and I also had to pick a verse for Catherine that was a Scripture of blessing that we will pray over her as she grows up. The verse we picked was Jeremiah 29:11 which says, "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." As we pray this verse over our precious Catherine, we pray that she will always know that God has a special plan for her life, and He desires to use her to impact this world for Him.

Our family. Caroline got to go on stage with us during the dedication. She behaved very well, and Catherine slept through it all!

After church, we had everyone over to our house for lunch. This day was even more special because we got to share it with our wonderful family.
Tripp and I are so thankful for our two girls. We are not perfect parents and often feel overwhelmed at the job before us in raising our girls. But our prayer is that by relying daily on the grace of God, we will model Christ for them and teach them about Jesus every opportunity we get.
