This past Labor Day we had the privilege of welcoming our not-so-little baby girl into eternal life in Jesus. A year or so ago, she talked with Brett about how to become a Christian at home, and they prayed a prayer. They worked through a little workbook together. But she wasn't quite ready to get baptized. I think she had to be sure of her decision. Then, after she spent a week at Word of Life Camp, she came back and told us she had gotten saved. She seemed to understand exactly what that meant, and at last she wasn't fearful about being baptized. There were two other girls, close to her age, who had also recently made salvation decisions, so we decided to baptize them at the lake during an already-planned church picnic.
There were tons of people there, it was beautiful weather, and everyone had so much fun together. We truly felt like a family, eating and fellowshipping and swimming and rejoicing in new life. We truly love being with our church family. And we are so excited that this sweet girl is now a believer in Christ. She is truly excited about reading her Bible, especially when it comes to doing her T&T (AWANA) book and is always eager to tell about things she learns in Sunday School. She is growing tremendously this year and we are excited to see what God does in her life!
