Find Your Wings

Dearest Andrew,
We had your dedication last Sunday and it was such a wonderful time. I love knowing that we have publicly dedicated your life to the Lord. I pray that we will raise you to the best of our ability. I promise to quit having such mushy blog posts (I'm a mom, I can't help it!), but let me give you the words from one of the songs that we used in your dedication. They are so fitting and I couldn't have written them better myself. They seemed to have come straight from my heart. It is a beautiful song by Mark Harris called "Find Your Wings". I pray that Mommy and Daddy will always help you find your way in this life and help you find your wings. I love you!

Find Your Wings

It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that Heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I want to know
You're walking in the truth
And if I never told you
I want you to know
That as I watch you grow

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly

Love,
Mommy
