Overwhelmed by God's Grace

I had the privilege this evening of hugging my dripping wet daughter as she exited the baptismal waters. Words really just can't express the incredible joy of seeing God's grace working in her life at that moment. We are so thankful for her faith in Christ and her desire to testify of that through baptism.

Two other girls were baptized along with Hannah this evening, and all three girls were so excited ... (albeit a wee bit nervous.) :o) (Two young men were baptized this evening as well.)

Our Pastor needed to accomodate heights ranging from under 4 feet this evening to over 6, so he helped Hannah float from the steps to a cinder block he had placed in the water for her.

We've been privileged to be a part of our church since before we were married, so our Pastor has known Hannah since she was born, making it an extra special blessing now for him to help her testify of her new birth in Christ.

For by grace you have been saved through faith.

And this is not your own doing;

it is the gift of God,

not a result of works,

so that no one may boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Thank You, Father God, for your incredible gift of grace in our lives.
