Matthew 19:14But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." 15After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.
April 6,2014: The day we gave Emma Charlotte to the Lord in front of our friends and family and promised to raise this child with the love of Jesus Christ. To watch her innocence and know that God has entrusted us to protect her on this earth and rear her in God's truth and light, was to say the least, a very heart warming experience. Not only is this a huge responsibility but I consider it a blessing and privilege to be chosen to be her family.
I know there will be days where I will fail. When I yell. When I feel like giving up. But at the end of the day when they are sleeping so sound and look like angels, I will think of his mercies, grace and for the opportunity of tomorrow. I pray I can be the light to my precious children.
Emma, you were such a beautiful, precious girl on the day of your baptism. Even though this a symbol of our promise to teach you how to be Christ-like, we hope that you will give your heart to the Lord on your own one day. And on that day, my prayer that I pray for you every night will have been answered.

My baptism dress in 1984 that Emma was supposed to wear....Couldn't even get the sleeves past Emma's forearms...
I was extremely upset, but I had to remind myself that today wasn't about what she wore..... |
