The beginning of October was my birthday….my 30th birthday! It was an extremely special one for more reasons than one.
Cora Jane and Vera Kate both had made professions of faith for our Lord. On this day, October 3rd, they both were baptized!
Cora Jane had made her decision and asked God into her heart awhile back but was too scared to get baptized. She isn’t crazy about water getting on her face and was worried the water would go up her nose. Our pastor, Brother Donnie, even told her she could wear her mask…hehe!
Vera Kate had made her own profession of faith during this journey with Cora Jane. We convinced Cora Jane that with some practice (in the bathtub) we could ease her fear of the water. And that’s exactly how it happened.
The day was filled with lots of friends and family. We were and are all so proud of the decision the girls have made. God continues to bless our family with His love, grace, and mercy. I feel so rich in His gifts…….my children.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,The fruit of the womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3
