Brooke has been asking if she could be baptized for a while. We kept explaining to her that baptism was an act of obedience after accepting Christ as her Savior. And every time she would brush it off and go back to what she was doing. We continued to pray that the Lord would open her eyes to His salvation. Last Sunday night around 10PM she came out of her room and said, "I just asked Jesus to be my Savior." This was the first time she talked about salvation outside of baptism. Marc and I talked with her and asked her some questions. She prayed again with us and asked Jesus to forgive her and to save her. Marc and I were thrilled, but watched her over the next few days to see if there was a change in her heart or if this was just her way to get baptized. All praise to Jesus because she was a different child! There was less arguing and more loving from this little girl! While she is still our spirited little Brooke, we have seen a change in her that only Christ can give!
Because we have talked to her so much about baptism and how it is an act of obedience and shows others that you have trusted Christ, she was ready for this next step immediately. What a joy to know I will spend eternity with all of my children. There is no greater joy that this!
Thank you Lord for your saving grace, and for opening the eyes of all of
my girls to know You. Help us to continue to teach and guide them to
trust you in every moment of their lives.
