Dear Joshua,
A little over a year ago, your daddy and I found out that you were growing in my womb. We were overjoyed. We celebrated with your entire family both at home and abroad.
This past Sunday we brought you before our church family at New Hope. Pastor Rhys appropriately called it a family dedication. Your daddy and I made a vow to disciple you...meaning we will do everything in our power to teach/show/model the Gospel of Jesus to you as commanded in Deuteronomy 6. And we will need a lot of His grace, mercy, and power to do such a thing. You are loved and prayed for by your parents, your extended family, and your church family.
New Hope gave us two letters on this day. One was addressed to your daddy and me and exhorted us to disciple you. The other letter was addressed to you and prays for the day that you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
This is our hope and prayer for your life: that you will know Jesus Christ and love Him. All other dreams are between the Lord and you. Be strong and couragious...the LORD is your salvation.
Beautiful Katherine!!! Praying for your sweet family.
