Annabelle’s Baby Dedication

Annabelle was dedicated to the Lord today. She did great all day today. Before church I was a little nervous that she would be fussy during the service, because she didn’t take her usual morning nap. I think she was excited too.

The verse we used to dedicate her was Isaiah 42:6. I really like this verse, because I read a lot of Isaiah when I pregnant with her. Also, this is a missions verse. Annabelle is going to be light to all cultures!

Isaiah 42:6
“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles.”

    Love all the pics – little Annabelle is so cute! Maybe someday she will open the Annabelle Espinoza Center For Children Who Can’t Read Good And Want to Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too – that would be nice.
