Brayden Timothy Baptism and Dedication

 Brayden Timothy

Baptism and Dedication

What a beautiful packed weekend we just enjoyed. With Jonathan graduating from his Masters program in School Counseling we thought there was no better time to baptize our little guy and also have his baby dedication at PVCC. 

May 14th was a beautiful day. At 11:00 am family and friends surrounded our son as his Opa baptized him at Saint Andrews Episcopal Church. 

We chose Joseph Knight as Brayden's Godfather for so many reasons. Joe has been a great friend throughout the years. Joe is faithful and is going to be a great dad someday and we couldn't imagine a better Godfather for our sweet son.  We also chose Kathryn and Blair Drake as his Godparents. Kathryn shared the birth of my son with me. She was there through my pain and witnessed Brayden coming into the world and taking his first breath. She has been such a special part of my life and is an amazing mama. Her along with her husband mean so much to our family.  Blair has been a faithful friend to my husband and is a great dad to our beautiful Goddaughter, Ava Grace.  Thank you Joe Knight and Kathryn & Blair Drake for faithfully praying for our little man and taking such a huge responsibility as his Godparents. 

We are so thankful to have such incredible family who love our little man. Thank you everyone who came out to witness such a special moment.

On May 15th at PVCC Doug Williams dedicated Brayden Timothy. We chose Ephesians 1:5&6 to be read during Brayden's dedication. Jonathan has been memorizing the book of Ephesians for the past few months and felt that this verse was perfect for our son. 

he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—   to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

we like it because it reminds us that Brayden's true father is God and our role is prepare Brayden for relationship with Him. It also reminds that as wonderful as having children is, it is all "to the praise of his glory." Brayden does not exist for our glory, but for God's.
