Alexander was baptized today!
He came to me a few weeks ago and explained that, though he knew he was baptized as a baby, he felt like he wanted to choose to have Jesus in his heart and ask His guidance on making the right choices.
Today, we got to celebrate that moment!
It was very understated, without so much as a break in the worship song.
It was exactly as Alexander would want it to be.
We were so blessed to have Alexander's two second grade teachers come and celebrate this moment with us. Mrs. Lethers's own story of being baptized again in her youth helped influence Alexander's decision.
We have loved hearing both boys learn a love of Jesus. Often, when trying to solve conflict, they relate their own lives to the Bible and try to choose their actions with a Christ led heart. I truly believe they will be more selfless, and less ego driven men than the general population as they truly understand they were created on purpose for a purpose.
