Baby dedications

So I was born on a Friday. My mom was not up to taking me to church (as she had just gotten out of the hospital) that Sunday so a week and 2 days after I was born my parents took me to church and had me dedicated that day. I decided long ago that that was a tradition I wanted to carry on.
So when Kaden was born on Monday, July 19th I made sure that we were at church and he was dedicated the following Sunday. And after his dedication I sang a song by Sandi Patti called "Masterpiece" (go to this link to hear it:http://www.imeem.com/people/rF8q9M/music/af79PpLA/sandi-patty-masterpiecemp3/ ).
Then Ember was born on Friday January 11th and I wasn't realeased until that Sunday afternoon. So the following Sunday we were in church getting her dedicated and I sang "In My Daughter's Eyes" by Martina McBride (go to this link to hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLS0Y40WwlA ).
Well this one is due in October and he was NOT planned at all. People kept asking us if we would have another and we kept saying it would be a miracle if we did.:) We were going to have no part in planning any more children. When I found out that I was pregnant I thought to myself, "well, there's the miracle." But still didn't understand why. I kept telling people that if I was going to have this baby he had better bring NATIONS to Christ and not just a couple of people. Then last week my mom and I went to my cousin's bridal shower and on the way we were talking about how much of a miracle he is. And the fact that my mom often wondered why my brother and I were spared our lives (my mom hemorrhaged with me for months and my parents were going through a hard time when my brother was born). It got me to really thinking.
Well, I decided on the song that I am going to sing for his dedication. It is a song that I had actually thought of for both of our other kids but it just didn't seem right. Now it couldn't be anything else. It is called "Miracle" by Celine Dion. (go to this link to hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKpE9VOkh0g ).
The reason I have chosen it is in the lyrics and something that God has spoken to me. Below are the lyrics:

MIRACLE

Lyrics: Linda Thompson
Music: Stephen Dorff

You're my life's one miracle
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this 'til you

You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more

The nearest thing to heaven
You're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love

When you smile AT me I cry
And to save your life I'd die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more

There is nothing you could ever do
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams
And know for sure
Who could ever love you more


Okay, here's why I chose it and what God shared with me. It starts off by saying "You're my life's one miracle" Nuff said right? Then it goes on to say, "I never knew a love like this til you". Okay, I understand I have other kids and that they are miracles (every child is) but they are nothing like this one. God has chosen US to give this baby a life. And He went past the birth "control" we were using and HE controlled this life to be placed in me.
It goes on, "You're the reason I was born. Now I finally know for sure". my mom said that she has wondered WHY it was that God spared my life and allowed me to live. God spoke to me and said, "You were born so that this baby could have a life. Without YOU there would be no HIM." WOW! What a thing to realize. I wasn't born on this earth so that I could live as much as so that I could bring into this world a child that GOD WANTED born! Am I the only one who finds that amazing?! What is HE going to do for God that someone else can't/won't? What is the purpose for this little life growing inside me? Is this a bit of what Mary thought when she was pregnant with Jesus? "Quite possibly my whole purpose in this life is to make sure HE is born." What a thought.
The rest of the song speaks for itself. Although I must say he is not necessarily the "one that I love most" because I love my kids equally but he is pretty high on the charts there.
Hope you all like the songs. And I hope I didn't bore you. But I just had to share what was on my heart. Love ya!
