A Follower

Summer means baptisms at Kingdom Life Fellowship.  When they announced them a month or so ago Carter told us she would like to be baptized.  We've always wanted this to be a meaningful decision and one that our kids would make when they felt ready and could fully understand the commitment they were making.  We've had a lot of good conversations over the past couple of months...Carter had researched and discussed and shared and there is not a doubt in our minds (and more importantly hers) that she is ready to become a follower of Jesus.  

She is so precious to me.  Her heart and desire to make a difference in this world by loving others and living with meaning and purpose is something I am so very proud of.  So we joined with our friends and family and shared a beautiful night...

It is hard to describe the feeling you experience as a parent as you begin to watch as your child (who was your baby not so long ago) becomes their own person.  To see them take responsibility for themselves and speak up for themselves and choose a path of love, faith and eternal life for themselves...






Carter we simply adore you.  You are a dream come true for your dad and I and this decision is one we will celebrate with you now and for eternity.  You are amazing and precious and I can't wait to see how you are going to make your mark on this great big world.  I have no doubt you will shine your light for all to see.  XOXO
