Alexa's Dedication

Alexa was dedicated this past Sunday. I talked a little about it in the service, but it really was emotional thinking about how we prayed for a child and how even when it wasn't "easy" to get pregnant, God was faithful and that rough time in our lives seems like an insignificant blur now that Alexa is a part of our family. Keith and I put a lot of thought into our covenant to her. It was a pretty meaningful experience taking in what it means to be a Christian parent to her for life! We invited family and friends to the service and they were witnesses as we promised before God to raise her in the way of Jesus. We know this is an all encompassing responsibility that we can't do without help from family, friends, and of course God. It is actually really scary when I think about what a huge responsibility it is to be a parent and I hope I don't mess things up too bad. :) Keith also played his guitar and sang~ this will be a very cool memory for us and it will be neat to tell Alexa all about it when she gets older. Thanks to everyone who was part of this special day and for the cards, gifts, and words of encouragement. We really appreciate it!
