Dedication Day

On yesterday, Sabbath, August 11th, Ken and I felt so blessed to be able to dedicate our daughter back to the Lord. The moment was surreal, because it was a day that Ken and I thought would never come. We prayed and prayed for the Lord to grow our family however he saw fit, and His way, like always was perfect. For the dedication service, a dear friend of ours, SWC, sang Miracle of Life by Mary Rice Hopkins. If you have never heard the song, you must. The lyrics are as follows:

The miracle of life
The greatest gift God gave
He placed you in our hearts
And there you'll always stay

We once longed for a child
God heard our heartfelt prayer
Now we've adopted you
Now look at you, you're here

Chorus:

Now we're holding you and loving you too
Holding a miracle before our eyes
We're holding you and loving you too
Holding a miracle, holding a miracle
Oh what a miracle of life

The similarities
Oh I can't believe
You've got your mother's smile
though impossible it seems

How can this be chance
How can you explain
God placed you in our home
Now you share our name

There's so many ways God shows His grace
He fills our void deep inside
so many times I've seen God's face
In you, my little child

Unfortunately, I was not able to get any photos of the dedication, because we did not have access to our cameras, but I am posting a picture of our sweet pea, that was taken about two weeks ago. We had photos taken of her in her dedication dress along with a few other fun shots. I will post some of the other shots from the shoot later this week!

God bless you all! NikNak

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.opuskali.ru]Viagra Super Active[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
