Breanna's Baptism
Kids are such a joy!!! But, oh my, the joy you get from knowing they are saved and following God's commands in baptism...nothing like it in the world!!!
Breanna asked Jesus to be her Saviour when she was 4 years old. We had talked about this often with her to make sure she knew what she did. Then we started talking about her getting baptized. She DID NOT want to do this. We would ask her if she was afraid of getting in front of the church or afraid of the water, and she would always tell us that she didn't want to get up in front of the church. So, we didn't force her, we just reminded her every so often.
While on vacation in May, we were playing in the pool, and we started talking about baptism. Scott showed her what Pastor would do and say. Then he dunked her under the water. She came up and said, "I can do that!" We were thrilled!!! So, after VBS and teen camp, we went forward with her to say she was ready to be baptized.
She was so excited!!! She could hardly wait! So, on August 2, 2009 in the Sunday evening service, my baby girl got baptized!!! Dad and Candy were there, and my parents and grandparents were able to watch over our live broadcast at church! What a blessing for all to share! God is SO good!!! ALL THE TIME!!!
