Thankful for New Life!


I'm all choked up with emotion as I write this.... Natalie was dedicated to the Lord as a baby. Keith and I promised to raise her in His truth. Over the past year she has really grown spiritually. Natalie chooses to believe in that truth, which is Jesus Christ. So the little girl who does not like to put her head under water tells me, "Mommy, God told my heart to get baptized". All I can say is praise God!! So here are her pictures openly proclaiming her belief in Jesus Christ as her savior, showing her obedience in what the Lord spoke to her heart. At seven years old she didn't question or second guess it! She simply walked forward in faith without wavering! Thank you Lord for your faithfulness!!
"Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude." Colossians 2:6-7
