On December 30, James and Elizabeth were baptized at our church. We view this baptism as a recognition that they are God's covenant children and that He will work salvation in their life. We promise to do all that we can as their parents to point them to their Savior and trust Him with their lives.
God has been extremely faithful to us in trusting us with 5 children. He has so graciously provided for not only our physical needs of care, but even more so our spiritual and emotional needs. It's quite amazing if you really know us to see some of the spiritual transformations and growth that have occurred over the past 7+ years. We love that God's plan for our family is different--and better--than what we would have planned for ourselves. We would have "played it safe" and made decisions out of fear or anxiousness. That's still a temptation. But we've stepped out in faith and are so thankful for His blessings and His care.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
