Hope's Baptism!

Becoming a believer has been a journey for Hope that seriously began in first grade.  Over the past year, she has initiated MANY conversations about becoming a follower of Christ.  We have answered many questions and even the same ones over and over.  Andy purposefully walked Hope and Will through doctrine (child friendly of course) for many nights at the dining room table.  Her teachers at church and school were praying for her during this past year as well as her family.

Finally, on Sunday night (April 24), Hope told us once again she wanted to talk about becoming a Christian.  This had happened so many times, we were a little unfazed by it.  However, she immediately said she was ready and she couldn't hold it back any longer!  Jay and Katherine Wolf had spoken at church that night sharing their testimony about their life and there soon to be released book Hope Heals!  Isn't there just something about that word - HOPE?  We rejoice in our Savior who is our Redeemer!

We are thankful for the Hope that we have in Christ and are very thankful that our Hope is now our Sister in Christ.  Andy was able to assist in her baptism making it even more special!  I personally thinks she looks like an "angel!"
