This weekend was one to remember. I had the joy and honor of celebrating the baby dedications of my nieces, a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness and the blessing of family. Moments like these put everything into perspective. Being a proud uncle means showing up, planting seeds of love, and praying for the next generation to walk in purpose. Grateful for time with loved ones, meaningful milestones, and the opportunity to invest in the legacy of faith. #FamilyFirst #UncleLife #BabyDedication #FaithAndFamily #GratefulHeart
