Your Dedication

My dearest Jairmie William, tomorrow will not be a day you will remember, but you need to know it happened and you need to know why. Your being dedicated in the name of Jesus Christ, our lord and savior. For a basic reason mommy and daddy are Christians, but more importantly, we have our own personal reasons.

Jairmie your a miracle. I would argue more so than many other baby's but being your mommy, I am biased.   Jairmie, mommy may have already told you this but they told me when I was 12 that I could never have babies. I guess in a since, daddy and I had accepted that, having already lost one due to a miscarriage, that was true. Thats why the day the nurse called mommy and told her she was pregnant, mommy was scared. But inside of mommy was a glimmer of hope, and one simple prayer: Please God, let our baby be ok.
They told me when I was 12 weeks pregnant with you, that I was having a miscarriage, but God had other plans. They told me I probably would not make it through birth because of some problems I have, and so God made you a Cesarian section. All of these barriers that they have put on you. On our family, on GOD you have made it through.

Yeah, Jairmie you have some problems, but your very presence on this earth is because of God. Sometimes I see myself as hannah did in the bible. Unable to have a child, she prayed to God and offered to give her son to him. I wanted you so bad little man. I just was too scared to loose you to know how very much.

So tomorrow, Sunday, July 24, 2011, you will be dedicated at the Assemblies of God Church in Junction City, KS, by Pastor BJ Solander, and his wife Tobi. The entirety of the french family will be there.  Uncle Phil will be there, and even though aunt Kaity cannot be, I can promise you she wants to be. The same is true of all of mommy's family.

Tomorrow we give you back to God. With a promise to raise you right, knowing what love is, who God is, that it is not your place to judge others, and that above all, even family, comes God. We give you to God because we know, as much as we love you, God loves you more, because he can love more than is humanly possible.

Jairmie William, I am so proud of you. You have overcome unfair odds against you and your not even 9 months old. Remember this my son. You may be sick, you may have seizures, you may grow older and have as many problems as mommy, on none like your daddy, but in the end, nothing is too much for God to handle.
 I love you so,
Mommy <3
