My sweet baby girl was baptized in Jesus'name on February 21st at Cedar Grove UPC in Tupelo, MS! She, like her other two sisters, was baptized by her daddy. Eliana (known lovingly as "Ellie" by all her friends and family) is 5 1/2 years old and loves Jesus with all her little heart. She loves to pray and worship in church and means every bit of it. Below is a photo snapped just in time about 2 weeks before she was baptized. She had her little hands raised and was praying so hard in the altar, when another 5 year old came by and lovingly put his hand on her head and began praying for her. Then, another little girl (8 years old) gently laid her hand on her back and began praying with her as well. It was one of the most precious things I had ever seen.
She had been telling us for awhile that she wanted to be baptized, but we were waiting until we knew she fully understood it, well, at least as much as a child can comprehend it. She was so excited when we set the date. Here are some more photos...
Nothing fills my heart with joy more than seeing my children walking in Truth and putting into action what they have been taught since birth. I pray that I can have a childlike faith such as theirs and that they will continue to grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
