In Your Hands, Lord



Sept 3, 2011 (Saturday) - 10:30 am

Dedicating you to the Lord is going to be one of the first major steps you will take in your life, and most especially in your walk with the Lord. This is you first step and I fought for it, Dani.

As Ptr. Parcia explained during his sermon, I chose the name Danielle Beatrice for a reason. It is to bring you strength and joy. But all this goes back to the Father above, the giver of all life.

Standing before you in His presence was a dream come true for me. And you were such a good girl! You were smiling and just looking around.

You wore the dress your Tita Jan Arcenas brought you all the way from New York. You looked so pretty. I tried to put on a headband on you but it kept slipping. Bought your shoes from Enfant in Greenbelt 5 last month, too.

Your ninong and ninangs Pam, Joey, Maricon were there. Your Ninong Gabby and Anthony and Ninang Margaret were not able to come but they love you just the same and wished they could be there.

It was a short service but was pretty proud of what we accomplished.

Lunch was served at the Golden Salakot in Hotel Del Rio shortly after. We changed your dress and diaper in between since you were feeling a bit warm. But you were so calm and collected. Even falling asleep despite all the fuss going around you. Grandmas pinching, aunts and cousins cooing. You were being held by so many people but you didn't seem to mind at all.

Your cake was done by Yvonne of Cakeworks and your cookie giveaways by Sue's. Tags by Tita Tisha and your invitation by Tita Lesley and Tita Yobie :) Who I still have to pay since they seem to "forget" to bill me. So blessed to have all these people helping me, Langga. Wanted it to be special for you.


So, here we are on our journey. God is always with us and I pray that you continue to love and treasure Him all the days of your life.
