last night at church something truly wonderful happened. hannah told pastor that she was ready to be baptized. i was so proud of her. she has been a christian for 4 years. but she was never ready to be baptized. she asked me if we could go to pastor before church and talk to him about it.
about one week ago hannah came to me and told me that she was ready to be baptized. i asked her how long she had been thinking about this and she told me, "about three months." i asked her how she knew she was ready. she said that God had given her a dream telling it was time to get baptize. that was so exciting to hear that she hears from God. she is so farther along with God at her age than i was. i am so proud of her. i know she is going to grow up to do incredible things for God. she has been prayed for for so long. i know she is learning and growing in God. i can just tell.
i love that hannah feels like she can tell me anything. i hope that goes on for a very long time. she was nervous talking to pastor. her voice was very quiet. but he was so gentle with her. she is going to be baptized in june, when her daddy is home. i would not want him to miss this.
i wanted to get her something special to mark this occaision. do any of you have any ideas? she already has a bible, necklace .
i love her so much.
my dear sweet hannah,
may you always hear the voice of God. may you always feel His presence in your life. always pray to Him about everything. lean on Him. trust Him. ask Him. love Him. He will truly end up being your best friend.
Love you,
mommy

Does she collect anything like the Willowtree figurines or Precious Moments or anything? Sometimes they have the ones that commemorate those milestone/decision moments. Maybe you could start a collection for her with this event.
I'm so proud for her!
ahhhhh congratulations....i still remember when colleen was baptisted. i agree with ree maybe you can find something that will help her always remember this most important decision.
How exciting. I remember when Angela was baptized just like it was yesterday. What made it more special was John was able to baptize her with our Pastor there. Our Pastor believed that since John is the priest of our home that he could do this. you might ask Pastor if he would allow Dave to do the honor. It may make it more special and memorable.
