Ian's Dedication

As stated in the previous post, our morning involved attending a special event at church, Ian's dedication.  For those of you that have never heard of a dedication, it means that we presented Ian in front of our church family saying that we as parents will raise him up in a home dedicated to the Lord.  According to the bible, a child is not saved by being baptized as an infant.  Therefore, we promised God that we will teach Ian about Him; in return Ian will hopefully make the decision to commit himself to God and choose to be baptized.  Just like the other three's, dedicating Ian was a very honoring experience for Nate and I.

We were asked to pick a verse for Ian.  We chose, Proverbs 3:5-6:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
    
    and he will make straight your paths."
