A Proud Moment
Sunday was a very big day in the life of our teenager. He was baptized. He gave his life to the Lord when he was 7 but had never taken the "plunge" so to speak. We have been having baptism's at our church since we opened our doors and he has heard our pastor speak on the subject many times. Somehow a week ago when he spoke on it again something clicked in him and he signed up. It was interesting b/c he didn't even say anything to us until the middle of the week. I think the timing is perfect after all he has been through. Not to say he will lead a perfect life from this point on but it's a start. An obedient start. When he went up and climed into the water I was holding it together really well and then our pastor did this little mini speech. He told everyone what a great kid he was and how he is such a leader in his own right, which is true. He leads the set up every Friday night and its his responsibility to make sure it gets done. Anyway, it was just so awesome for him to have that recognition. So, the kid got dunked and we all cried like babies b/c of it. We were so proud of him. I really think he has made some great strides in the last few months and am excited to watch what God is doing in his life.
