sitting handsomely

lucas sat up all by himself for the first time today! it all began when he started fussing in the middle of the night and wouldn't settle down. i decided to pull him into bed with us - i was sooo tired. all of a sudden, he sat up by himself in bed. we thought we were seeing things (it was 2 o'clock in the morning, afterall!) until i saw him do it again in the morning, this time in broad daylight. he was lying on his tummy on our kitchen floor when all of a sudden i found him in a sitting position. i was so proud!

allan and i dedicated lucas tonight! we declared before others that lucas is given over to the Lord. our promise to God, with His help, is to teach scripture to lucas daily, pray with him regularly, and model a life of holy living that is pleasing to God. our desire is for lucas to grow up to love and follow the Lord; for him to make a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. it was a very special day for three of us. many of our friends also dedicated their children tonight, which made the evening extra special! :0)
