Many times, as Christian parents, we lead our children to the Lord at an early age. Although I fully believe that they are capable of accepting Christ as their Savior around the age of four, they rarely remember doing so as time goes by. Both our girls made a confession of Christ at the age of four. Neither of them remember it. Thankfully, they realized this on their own and got things straight with their Lord and Savior. They both knew that baptism was the next step but they were to scared to follow in obedience.
Due to God working in their lives, they knew that now was the time to get baptized. They just had to wait for the pastor.
During the week of NBT, Rebecca dedicated her life to the Lord. A month later, after taking a shower, Emily came to me and asked how to dedicate her life to the Lord. She said she had already trusted in Jesus, now she needs to give Him control of her life.
I am so very proud of our daughters and the spiritual growth I see in them on a daily basis. They both have a great desire to serve Him and seek Him in all avenues of their lives. I love them immensely and am glad that they have given their lives over to our Lord in each and every aspect of their lives and have a willingness to follow His commandments.
The girls anxiously waiting.
waiting with Mrs. Susan, our pastor's wife
Emily went first because she wanted to be baptized longer than her sister. There's no sibling rivalry going on around here... lol
she was so nervous
