Last Sunday, on Father's Day, Sophia was dedicated at Pathway Church. Jason and I have been attending Pathway since January 2008. Here is a picture of our head Pastor Ron praying with Jason, Sophia, and I.
This is the picture of Sophia on the screen that they showed while we prayed. We had a family photo in the church bulletin with a prayer Jason and I wrote...
We thank God for entrusting us with our precious daughter Sophia. We pray she will be Christ follower and love You with all her heart. We also pray that You will guide her and direct her for Your will in her life so that she will impact the world around her for Your Honor and Glory.
Our church believes, as do Jason and I, that God does not hold babies accountable for their salvation at this time since they are not aware of their decision. This dedication is more symbolic for our family that we are making a commitment to raise Sophia in a Christian environment. This was so meaningful to all of us, it just reminded us as parents the awesome responsibility we have to Sophia and our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are so blessed to have immediate and extended family to support Sophia in her walk with Christ. Our very good friends, the Lofland's and Smith's were there too. It is such a blessing to have good friends like them and we thank God for them daily.
Sophia was an angel that day! She was so peaceful and slept through most of the ceremony. We have been blessed with such a sweet baby!
Her great-grandma Fisher made her gown and bonnet. We had practiced with the bonnet and she was not a fan, but that day Grandma Fisher put it on her and she was angelic. I guess she knew how hard Grandma had worked.
I just love this picture...Grandma has always been so special to me and I know Sophia will some day realize how blessed she is to have her in her life as I have.

What a special day this was for you - Grandpa & I were so blessed to be a part of it. You are the picture of an angel in your gown & bonnet - and what a very special memento for you, Mommy & Great Grandma Fisher! May God hold you in the palm of His hand & lead you to His will throughout your life.
We love you so much,
Grandma & Grandpa VB
