Having someone to love is FAMILY. Having somewhere to go is HOME. Having both is a BLESSING.
We ARE SO BLESSED!

Nevaeh's Christening/Dedication

Emotions were high and intense and we all shared many tears together. It was overwhelming to realize a miracle made and to understand again that the God we serve IS alive and on our side! He wants to give us good things! Our day was incredibly special as shared with many that we love most. Bro. G.Clair Sams along with his wife Melba, performed the christening and dedication ceremonies, our friend and fellow minister Byron Gurnee with his wife Julia assisting, shared in giving the Rose Ceremony. Nevaeh's brother Robert and adopted cousins Toni and Stephanie Fultz sang "Welcome To The Family." Nevaeh's brother Daryl wrote a song specifically for Nevaeh's day and sang it while accompanying himself on the acoustic guitar. Mark and I sang "Keep Me In Your Will" followed by a time where Nevaeh told her grandparents and caseworkers "I love you" by passing out roses. Then to complete the service, Mark got down on one knee and presented our new daughter with her first rose, telling her that he loved her. It was so sweet to hear her little voice respond, "I love you, Daddy!" It was a full day and we have very many more pictures that I know you will enjoy. Give us a few days to compile all of them, and I intend to share them with you in the form of another scrolling photo album to the side. I know that many of you are watching and I didn't want to make you wait too long. So, hold on - MORE IS COMING!!

Bro. Sams is praying the dedicatory prayer over Nevaeh.

Nevaeh just received her very first rose from her Daddy!
