Michael's Dedication



We had Michael dedicated on August 3rd. It was a very sweet day. Here are the verses that we choose to have our pastor, Bob, pray over him.




Romans 12: 9-13
9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.




Ultimately, our prayer for Michael would be that he sincerely loves others, clings to Christ, honors others, serves the Lord with zeal, is joyful, patient, and a prayer warrior, serves those in need, and shows hospitality to all he comes in contact with.


Michael's Personality: He is so sweet, cuddly, and laid back. He has this huge smile that lights up his entire face. His eyes just light up. He loves his big sister. Anytime she talks to him he will laugh and smile at her. Anytime she does "big sister" things (i.e. trying to help him crawl by pulling his arms forward and he hits the floor with his face) he doesn't even mind. He just goes with the flow in everything we do. He doesn't cry when I lay him down for a nap, he just starts to suck his thumb and goes to sleep. It's crazy how they come with their own little personality and how it manifests itself in everything he does. He's going to be the silent, sneaky one. He's starting to crawl already but he does it so quietly. One minute he's where I laid him down and the next he's moved across the floor to something that caught his interest. I'm going to have to watch him closely because of how quiet he is. He'll probably be in great mischief before I even realize it. Natalie will probably keep my on my toes because she watches him pretty closely.
