Today was Baby Dedication Sunday at our church, Sojourn. This is something that we have thought through for a while and been excited about. We were SO proud to hold you up in front of the church and promise our devotion to raising you as best we can to be a man of God. This is the picture of you that was in our churches bulletin and what we wrote for you:
Noah William Petersen was born on October 13, 2009, and is our first child. We selected his name first for the very spiritual reasons that we like the sound of it and it was the only one that we could both agree on. The name means "rest and peace," and we are amazed that he has been able to live up to his name so early. Of all the lessons we have learned so far as parents, the one we are reminded of several times each day is how undeserving we are of God's incredible blessings, and there is no better way to describe our little man. As new parents, 2 Timothy 3:14-15 has been an encouragement to us. It's been a great reminder for us to provide an environment where Noah can experience and learn the gospel.
