Levi Has Been Dedicated to the Lord

I am a dreamer. I dream big. I get my hankering for it from my dad. He loves to dream.

We are both alike in that way - we are so passionate about what we do, what we love, and what inspires us.  It is always sincere, always thoughtful, and always with good intentions.

I have many dreams. Some are specific and some are vague.Here are a few...

I dreamed for a man to take care of me, to love me and choose it, and to be my life partner. The Lord brought him to me.

I dreamed of having amazing brother-in-laws that would make my sisters happy and bring together a joyous family followed by large family trips and frequent outings to bond. He gave that to us as well.

Finally, I dreamed of having a child and one day publicly dedicating him to Jesus.

I got weary of that happening after not feeling a commitment to a church for a long time. I felt he might get too old and it would be too late when the time came.

But at last, the Lord provided the great opportunity. And in His great will, He planted our feet for it to be done in the exact timing He desired.

We had already dedicated Levi to the Lord in our hearts and minds of course. He was His from the very beginning. But I always dreamt, as a child, that one day we would put him in one of those white gowns and our pastor would pour oil down his head.

Needless to say he was NOT in a white gown. He had on a plaid button up and Timberland boots. LOL!

But he was dedicated, right there in God's grace, in His glory.

I was so proud of that moment - it is a dream come true that I will remember forever!
