From the time my kids were born I prayed that someday they would choose to follow Christ. On August 23rd God answered those prayers. Hannah and Micah both choose to follow Christ that night at Kid's Jamm. As a believer your next step is baptism. We do not believe in baptizing babies....both of our children were dedicated as babies which just means that we as parents were committed to raising our children according to the principles in the bible. We believe that baptism is an outward show of the decision you made in your heart. Here is good explanation that...
Romans 6:1-7 - This shows us that the mode of baptism (immersion) pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. In the same way that He went through these things, our old nature is to “die” and we are to be “buried with Him through baptism into death” and raised to “walk in newness of life” (live like Jesus). So we do not just try to be a better person, we bury the “old person” in the water and become a “new person” through our acceptance of Christ. It is like a new birth and a new beginning for us.
Yesterday was an amazing day for both Philip and I. I know he was thrilled to able to baptize both Hannah and Micah....

Of course what day would be complete without a picture of my cutie pie...
