We love Anna Lauren dearly, but she has her moments and is not always the easiest child to parent. About 6 months ago, I was beginning to get to a breaking point with her and decided I just really needed to pray for God to work in her little heart. Some of the struggles we were having begin to get easier and a couple weeks ago she asked Jesus into her heart during Vacation Bible School. This morning she walked down the aisle and made her public profession of faith and will be baptized. More than anything I want her to be as pretty on the inside as she is on the outside. I think that "pretty on the inside" starts with having Jesus in your heart, and I look forward to watching her grow as a Christian. Today Matt and I are not only proud of our Anna Lauren, but we are thankful that He heard the prayers and did indeed work in her little heart. God is good!!!
In our opinion, the most important decision our children will ever make. We are proud, and we are so thankful she now has Jesus in her heart!!!
These sweet friends of hers have been right by her side...so much that Emmy was the only one that knew she had accepted Jesus into her heart during Bible School and neither of them said a word for several days (those stinkers)...
What a wonderful day celebrating her decision, and we look forward to her baptism...
