Covenant Child!

Melina was baptized last month and I am just now getting around to putting it on the blog! It was wonderful. I think the entire congregation was holding their breath in anticipation of her screaming once I handed her over to Ted. However, our prayers were answered, and she did great! She did not cry one little peep, but instead kept her eyes on Ted and took it all in stride.
What peace there is in knowing that it is up to God to change our children's hearts and not our own. Yes, I understand our responsibility, but for me as a control freak it is something I have to preach to myself regularly.

Amazed

Oh, how thankful I am for our family and this special little girl! I thank God and I am amazed at how He carefully chose her for us. She is growing. She is now 15 mo. old. This week she had her well check and her pediatrician of course was pleased. She has gone from a little girl that could barely sit up on her own and 3 months behind to a little toddler toddling around, getting into everything, saying new words everyday, and is now closer to an 18mo. old. I am not bragging, just so amazed and so in love. We all are.
The older girls have a lot of fun with her also. It gives me joy to see these sisters enjoying each other and learning how to work and play together. I am thankful they have each other.
