Baby Lane
Dear Lane Carroll,
As we dedicate you today to the Lord, I wanted also to express my dedication to you. I want tell you that I count myself blessed to have the opportunity to love you, to pray for you, and to watch you grow. God has brought me a dear friend in your mother, and she has entrusted me with the shared task of being your godmother. It is from that place that I want to commit myself to you now – to be used in whatever way God would allow – to contribute to your spiritual growth. You have already the blessing of a family who would seek to raise you with knowledge of the things of the Lord. God willing, I hope to continue to be a part of that family, through fellowship, through love, and through the common bond we share as members of the body of Christ. I will pray for your family & for your home – that it would be one in which Christ reigns supreme, one in which you can learn truth and grow in it, and one after which you can model your own family someday. I will pray for you – that you would come to know Jesus as your own Savior at an early age, that the Holy Spirit would guide you from your earliest remembrances, and that God’s purpose for your life would be clear and unhindered as you seek to follow Him. Lastly, I will pray for myself and for all who love you – that we can be the kind of people you can always trust and turn to.
I want to share the first six verses of Proverbs chapter three with you today, and in any way I can, I want to help you as you grow, to live out these instructions.
Good friend, don’t forget all I’ve taught you; take to heart my commands.They’ll help you live a long, long time, a long life lived full and well.
Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people.
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own.Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Lane, I’ve loved you since before you were born.
Love Always,
Jennifer Sue
