Tonight I gained a sweet sister In Christ.
Baptism. Cookout. Fellowship. Homemade Ice Cream. Frisbee.
What an amazing night to be a part of at Bay Leaf Baptist Church.
Tonight began with hot dogs and hamburgers and fellowship with the members and some nonmembers of the church. Tonight I got to sit and eat with Walt and Betty Haskins, I love their company and the influence they are on my life. This evening Walt told me when I got home from Kenya he would go skydiving with me, I REPEAT SKYDIVING. [I will not lie: I actually started to cry when he told me he would go with me, just ask Emily or Jen Madsen] This is something to look forward to and I can not wait for the day when I can sit and blog about the day me and Walt went skydiving! I look up to this man and his wife more than they will ever know. I love their hearts and the way they pursue Christ blows me away. If you ask me I'd probably say I have 3 sets of grandparents because I would include them. I love them so much.
Also, tonight my sweet friend Kelsey entered the waters of baptism and I gained a sister in Christ! This is truly a day she will cherish forever and I am beyond blessed I got to witness it! Kelsey just finished her 6th grade year (which is crazy because I definitely thought she was older!) so me and Katie had the privilege of having her in our middle school bible study we taught, Lies Young Women Believe. Throughout the semester we taught this, we got to really know Kelsey which was something I am blessed by and am encouraged every single time I hear her testimony!
Kelsey~ You are such an encouragement to me and I enjoyed so very much getting to be a part of your baptism tonight! This will truly be a day you remember forever and I cannot wait to see you grow in your knowledge, understanding and relationship with Christ, I also cannot wait to see how The Lord will use you to bring glory and honor to His kingdom. I love you and I am blessed to say I have a new sister in Christ!
Tonight was an amazing night with friends, family and loved ones.
Every time I witness a baptism I think about my testimony and when my granddad baptized me in the pulpit at Bay Leaf Baptist Church. I am amazed how God will use his believers (even the most unlikely, like me.) to further His kingdom.
Tonight was just another adventure reminding me of the journey my gracious and loving Father has called me to.
