This past Sunday was Phoebe's baby dedication. I was practically beaming with pride. She's really such a lovely sweet baby. The dedication went off without a hitch and the pastor prayed a beautiful prayer over her. Phoebe was super cute and cooed and gurgled her way through the service.... although she did attempt a few brutal head butts that were slightly unfortunate. ;0)
After church we had a big BBQ at our house. A bunch of our family and friends came to celebrate the day. It really was a great little party. Everyone had a great time. Susan, my step grandma, came all the way from Fort Jones and that made the day extra special for me. It was like having a small piece of my Grandpa with us and I couldn't help but feel the presence of God on such an awesome day.
It was also really great to have most of my Chicca clan there. When Matty was dedicated we weren't all on the best of terms and Bethie wasn't even in the area so none of them came and I really, really missed them. Matty's dedication really ended up being so bittersweet for me because my Dad ended up in the hospital and the Chicca's weren't there. This time around there was nothing but joy because I know my Dad celebrating at home with the Lord and there is peace between us and the rest of my family.
Really and truly- God is good. May Phoebe grow to be a mighty woman of God and may grace and mercy follow her all the days of her life. Hallelujah, Amen.
