Twins Baptism
Today was a big day for us as a family. Justin had the privilege of baptizing Caleb and Madi. Madi started asking us about 3 years ago if she could pray and ask Jesus into her heart. We were of course thrilled that she wanted to make a decision to follow Jesus- but we knew it was more than just a one-time prayer, it was a choice to have a life long relationship with God. We asked her to wait and learn more about who God was and why she wanted to follow Him. Madi and Caleb began to ask more questions and Justin and I became purposeful about teaching them who Jesus was, how much He loved them and about sin and grace. Last year Madi came to us again, this time she told us that one morning while she was in bed she felt like God wanted her to pray and start a relationship with Him, she got on her bedroom floor and prayed. Caleb and Justin were on a date at Chili's this summer and he also felt it was time to make the decision to follow Jesus. This morning at the Granbury City Beach, we had the honor of baptizing our sweet, precious kids. Justin and I feel so blessed to be a part of their lives. We are so grateful God prompted our kids to move forward with a relationship with Him and couldn't be more excited to see all God has for the twins.
