Liberty was dedicated this past Sunday (3-4-12) at the church we attend, Antioch. In the dedication ceremony, we, as parents, are asked if we will train our children in the way they should go, so when they are old they will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)Certain members of the congregation are asked to pray for each child during the ceremony and share any words or promises they feel the Lord is speaking to our children.
The lady, Cheryl, that prayed for us shared this verse with us: "Praise the LORD. Blessed are those who fear the LORD, who find great delight in his commands. Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed." Psalm 112:1-2. So as parents Liberty will see that we fear the Lord and do our best to obey His commands. Because of this she will be blessed.
Cheryl also saw a picture of nets being thrown out, just as the disciples "put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch". (Luke 5) The disciples were told, "Don't be afraid, from now on you will catch men." We pray Liberty will come to know the Lord at an early age, and that she will share her faith, bringing many to follow Him. Just as her name means "freedom", she will bring freedom to the lost, as they choose to turn from their sins and follow Him.
