Dedication
We had the privilege this last Sunday of dedicating our beautiful little girl to the Lord! What made is extra special was that both of her grandpa's were there and took part in the service. Our interim pastor whom Zachary and I have such a high respect for did the service and we were glad that he was willing to make it happen on such short notice. He is such a great man of God and we are always in awe of how much he does for our church family even while he has a full time job as a teacher. I never knew how much you worry being a parent but knowing that God had a plan for her life and since we have given her to Him we can trust that He has everything under His control. There have already been times when we have had to trust the Lord with her because things were out of our hands. It amazes both of us daily that He has entrusted us with her life but we look forward all the good and bad times that come along with this big responsibility .
We are also blessed that we have so many family members who attend church with us and were able to be a part of this special day. We thank the Lord our families stand with us in bringing Emily up in a Christian home. Yes, all those family members go to our church. (expect for the Walkers but they are a Big part of our church)
The verse Zachary and I have chosen to pray for Emily is Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Our biggest thrill in life will be the day when Emily gives her life to the Lord and we pray that she decides that she wants Jesus to be a part of her life at a young age.

Awesome!!! You guys will be great parents. That is a lot of family, just think of the babysitting options.
I agree, y'all already are and will continue to be awesome parents!
Emily is a blessed little girl to have such a big, loving, Christian family.
I'm glad the dedication went so well.
Love you!
That's a good verse. I was glad that we got to be there and I'm also glad for Mr. Turney.
That was really great. She's so wonderful! We'd be glad to babysit anytime!!
Aww, dang. Zachary will be proud of me for doing it again I guess! That last one was me, although I'm sure I don't need to say it. :)
Okay, I've tried to type in my password like 20 times, but it won't work, so I'm using Caleb's account again.
I wanted to say congratulations using Future Uncle's account, but I couldn't log in, so I'll say it as Crazy Uncle.
Congratulations. It is an awesome, but challenging, but rewarding endeavor. We'll be praying for y'all.
Oh what a precious little family I'm sure that you will both make great parents and I am very excited to get to see your awesome kid get bigger. Not to mention more mobile and more interesting. I think I've already stated that I'm an excellent baby-sitting choice, so I need not go there again.
We are so thankful for Mr. Turney and our entire family. (Even though we had to take that picture!)
Holy smokes, Batman! I didn't realize what a massive family the Walker/Klocke's are. I'm glad the dedication went well, and I love you guys. Tell Emily, Uncle Stain misses her too.
What a sweet day and what a darling, sweet little baby girl! She really is beautiful and you and Z look so happy. You are going to love being parents. I will have to say that being a grandparent is quite wonderful too. I never heard what K and K have decided to be called. Rick and I had such fun picking our names. We took forever -- trying out different ones and all. But my mom holds the record. She worked on her name for Kara to call her for at least 18 months and finally came up with -- Grandmummy!
How precious! She is beautiful, and it is wonderful to see the loving family in which the Lord has placed her! We love y'all!
