We dedicated Carter at church a couple weeks ago. To be clear, I did not say we 'made Carter a Christian' a couple weeks ago - this really had very little to do with him cuz he had no idea what was going on! But it was really neat to stand upbefore our family and friends and share how we were committed to trusting the Lord with Carter and asking for help in raising him. The tradition at Creekside is to pick a few words that are your prayer for the child your dedicating. We pray passion and conviction for Carter. Not that he would know, or even do the right things, but that he would with sincere passion desire to KNOW Jesus and follow hard after Him. That he would become enthralled with the ways of His God and that it would taint every aspect of who he grows up to be. Considering who his parents are, it's a pretty safe bet Carter (and Macy for that matter) will find themselves passionate and driven towards something; we pray constantly that it would be the heart of God.

Bummer Carter hasn't become a Christian yet. Milo accepted the Lord last week while watching "Praise Baby" at Mikela's house.
