Hello Friends,
I just wanted to let you all know what a great weekend we had, and it had nothing to do with football:) Crazy, I know. It was great because at 5:00 on Saturday night I witnessed one of the greatest things of my life-my husband getting baptized. Just so you know, because our church is so big we have services on Saturday and Sunday. Family and Friends were there all to support his decision to "take the plunge." I was sitting there feeling like I was getting ready to watch my husband coach in the state championship or something. I was excited, anxious, a little nervous-all at the same time. To set the scene-our church has a big pool they put up in front of the church for baptisms. While the worship music is playing they bring the individuals who have made this decision to get baptized all out at the same time. There he was-the 4th person in line. They bring each one in the pool one at a time, they ask them questions, and then here it comes. . .a pastor puts them under water and then they shoot up a brand new person. For my husband, this brand new person just happened to shoot up back in college, but he never got baptized. This act was an act of obedience for him. I have watched while God called him into coaching and use it as a ministry and he obeyed, I watched God call him to share his faith in front of hundreds of people and he obeyed, and I have watched God call him to get in the Word and he obeyed and i watched God call him to fight the pride and get baptized and he obeyed. With this one act-he encouraged me and inspired me to listen to God and obey! It is a great honor to follow his spiritual leadership for our family.
As I told you in a previous post this hasn't always been the case so when I was watching, I couldn't help but get overwhelmed with emotion. I have been a part of this man's life from when we were in grade school all the way to his baptism at the age of 31 and I can tell you I wouldn't have missed any of it for the world. The good, the bad, the ugly, the great all led to this moment where I got to see God work in him, creating with in him a man after God's own heart. The answer to many prayers, years of prayers happened on Saturday, November 1 at 5:00. Let this be a testimony that God is Faithful!!! Not in our time, but in His! I can't wait to see where God will take him next.
Baby Update: We had a checkup and everything looks great so far!! 10 weeks woo hoo!
