This weekend was very special as we celebrated
Baileigh's decision to be baptised. On Friday night we had a cake with our small group in honor of the event...Sam, whose family is part of our small group, was also going to be baptised today so we wanted to acknowledge this important milestone. Unfortunately, Sam woke up with a fever on Sunday morning and couldn't participate...but he did get ice cream cake!
Ready and waiting! She was very nervous, but very excited. There were 24 people being baptized this morning at our
church...it's very cool how the pastor invites friends and family to come up on the stage and get as close as possible to the baptismal so they can be a part of the event and provide encouragement.
Baileigh and
Pastor Ray...he shared that he was also 8 when he made the decision to be baptised...
Baileigh thought this fact was very cool!
First they showed a video she had made at the end of her Zone 2 class (prepares them for baptism...makes sure they understand what it is about and why they are doing it)...only about 1 minute interview with her in a rocking chair proclaiming her love for Jesus. She giggled at the end, it was very cute.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit...
Yeah!!!!
So proud...of her and for her.
Ringing out the robe before she takes it off...
Nana has been here for a week and stuck around for this important event...
Baileigh was so happy that she was here for the event.
We're very proud of the young lady
Baileigh is growing into and the good decisions she seems to be making.

What an AWESOME day it was!! She did a great job in both her video and the baptism waters. So sweet that she wanted to wear her new cross necklace into the water. :) Baileigh made her Nana SO PROUD, and her look was one of pure surprise and delight when I said her Mommy was baptized at age 12!! I wouldn't have missed it for anything!
That was so sweet. Brought a tear to my eye! :) Thanks for sharing.
