Beckett is Dedicated!

A few Sundays ago, our church was doing baby dedications and we were excited to have Beckett dedicated in front of our church body. He was dedicated alongside 2 of his new friends whose parents are in our community group. Babies Luke (parents Jenni and Jonathan Clark to the left of us) and Linnea (parents Tim and Cameron Psiaki to the right of us) are 2 little one's we hope Beck will grow up with as all of us team up to raise our kids up to love the Lord. We were also glad to have family there on Beck's special day- Beckett's Godparents/Aunt & Uncle Heather and Eric Tuininga, Grandparents Dave and Pam and Aunt & Uncle Jessica and Laith and little cousin Isaac. Brian chose Psalm 23 as Beckett's verse and we loved what it had to say about dealing with adversity in life (which will surely come for him although we shudder to think of it!) and leaning on God for all he needs. Our church does Baby Dedications instead of baptisms because we believe that baptism should be done when a person accepts Christ into their heart and this can only occur once a person has gained a true understanding of this choice at a later age. We have seen baptisms of new believers of all ages- from 9 to 69 and it is a beautiful thing! I pray daily that Beckett will accept Christ into his heart someday. Until then we will do our best to teach him and show him the truth and the love that comes from our Lord and Savior!
