"babbitized"

That's what Baby Girl called it when she was much younger.  And while she was always amazed, she was also often afraid of getting "babbitized and having to go down deep in that water behind the glass wall".


But in recent months, as she's talked more and more about this step in obedience to God, her fears have been calmed by the One who created her.  She was ready. Beyond ready. And very emotional, excitement abounding.


Our pastor, and good friend, said it pained him to buy it, but when he saw this orange and blue bible he knew it was perfect for Baby Girl...and she was thrilled.


We couldn't be more proud of her decision to follow Christ with her whole heart. It won't always be an easy path, but we consider it a blessing to help encourage her along the way.
