On February 15th, Lily made the decision to become baptized. This post has taken me a while to write simply because nothing I can say seems worthy of the importance of this day and moment in her life.
When I look at Lily, I see a young lady with a soft heart willing and committed to follow Jesus. She accepted Jesus into her heart before Kindergarten at VBS and since then has been on mission to tell her friends about Jesus and show them His love through her actions.
It's really an amazing sight to watch an 8-year-old desire to read her devotional book and pray for her friends. She seems mature in her faith at a young age.
So when Lily began asking questions about baptism, we pursued the process further. She met with Pastor James (the Children's Pastor who also baptized her) and we went through a guide book together explaining what it means to be a Christian and the importance of baptism. Once we were finished, she decided to become baptized.
This day was such a beautiful day for her. Along with the excitement of family attending (which I failed to get pictures of!), she received many special gifts to commemorate the occasion.
Lily, we are so proud of your decision and look forward to how God will use you as you grow in Him!
We love you!
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
