OT Praise

My three daughters got baptized last night! It was so exciting I am letting them sleep in today 
I have been waiting all their lives for them to ask to be baptized-I already knew they had each given their hearts to Christ some time ago, but how wonderful for them to decide to take this step of obedience. I am on cloud 9! I am also convinced that my decison to come back to homeschooling had some effect-the fact that I chose to spend more time with them and encourage them in their walk, especially for the youngest two in HOD. As a side note, my hubby and I were there with them, and so was their natural father, and we were all able to share joyfully in the occasion. God is so gracious and good. I got wet too, as I kissed them each as they came up out of the baptismal pool 
Another side note, my son (now age 19) got baptized just last year. This momma's joy is so full-my highest desire for my children, that they would serve the Lord, is full
