Huge

Today is our kid's dedication. She will neither be baptized as a Catholic nor as a Lutheran. She will be evangelical.  We can only hope that she will choose to be a Christian all throughout her life.  Of course, we will raise her as one but given that she has free will, we cannot really force her to believe in things we believe in.

Before she was even born, we were already praying that God would reveal Himself to her and that her heart would be open to accept Him.  Let us see what happens.

She has two sets of godparents.  One from my country and one from the dad's.  We took the task of choosing the godparents very seriously because they have to be trustworthy enough.  They will be the ones to give additional guidance as she grows up and will have to take over if anything happens.  Plus, in case she decides to go study (for college) somewhere else other than where we are settled, she would need stand-in parents.

Today is a big day.  Huge. So, I will stop writing this and prepare my ass for the event.
