Some glad morning when this life is o'er...
On July 15th, Scott and Natalie were baptized! Scott had been asking to do this for over a year, so the time had certainly come. Kate also trusts in Jesus as her Savior and requested to be "bap-a-tized" too, but we discovered on vacation that the putting her head underwater part was going to be an issue! She'll do it down the road. Jon had the privilege of baptizing the kids, and it was certainly a special day.
Here are their brief testimonies/reasons why they wanted to be baptized-
Scott wrote, "I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was four years old. I know that I need Jesus and that I am a sinner. I want to show everybody that I believe in Jesus by obeying Him with baptism."
Natalie wrote, "When I was four, I realized that I was a sinner and that I needed a Savior. I want to be baptized because I want to show everyone that I love Jesus and want to follow Him."
We rejoice that Scott, Natalie, and Kate have decided to allow Jesus to be the Lord of their lives, and we pray that they will continue to follow Him closely all the days of their lives.
Yay Scott, Natalie, and Kate! :) I love knowing we will probably have houses really close to each other in heaven someday...if that's how it works...;)
