Happy, happy day

Last Wednesday, we went to our church's all life group worship night. During one of the songs, Troy turned around and said "Mom, I want to be baptized." I asked him why and what does that mean and he said, "because I know Jesus is in my heart."  What wonderful words to hear as a parent!! He talked with Richard a little and then to our children's pastor and decided he would get baptized on Sunday.  At the end of the worship night, a lady came over and tapped me on the shoulder and said that God wanted her to pray for my son. I told her sure and which one, I have four. She pointed to Troy and said God was highlighting him to her, but didn't know what she was supposed to pray for. I told her Troy just committed his life to Christ and asks to be baptized and then she said "okay, now I know why He sent me over here!" It was such a sweet confirmation to my heart from God and what a blessing she was for just being obedient, even when she didn't know why God was sending her to us. 

So today, we were able to speak over Troy and read him his life verse again, which was read over him at his baby dedication and then baptize him. 

Lots of family came in and we all enjoyed celebrating Troy's special day!
