We dedicated our beautiful little Anneka Dorothy today at church. Actually we have already dedicated her to the Lord, but this was a chance to do it publicly and to ask the church to help us in raising her up to knowing Jesus and to pray for her. That is one thing that we have come to realize over these 12 weeks of parenthood, we cannot do this alone. God has often helped us at different times as we have come to Him in prayer. Friends and family have also helped out, and it was great to have some of our family there with us in front of the church as we prayed for Anneka. We are so excited to be parents and to help her recognize who God has made her to be.
