Last monday

I listened to little Ice say that she wants to follow God here at 13 years old and thought, she has no idea what she's asking. She can't imagine the doubt and heartache and obstacles that life will throw at her in the coming years.

Dressed in her baptism gown along with her friends and the other new believers I was struck what a leap this is for everyone and how these young ones just do not know what the future will hold for them and God; they couldn't possibly be ready. But it doesn't matter. Looking back on my own life of faith since my infant baptism I can say one thing for sure, GOD is faithful. This commitment ceremony is a really beautiful promise between two: God and you and God himself will bless and honor it forever. How awesome:


The girls on their way to the ocean to get baptized and start a new life.
