Mia's Baptism


Steve & his princess

Pastor Tom, our family, Sarah & Scott

Our little angel. We bought her gown in Guatemala.

You think I'm going to sit still & look pretty!

We celebrate ALL of God's blessings today

OK, Mia didn't last to long in her gown so we changed in to something PINK.Funny that all of the girls had the same dress too. You have to love Gymboree:)

Mia sits on Meme's lap

What a day! Praise the Lord!

Today holds a special day in our hearts as Mia was baptized. For nearly a year our church has prayed for us to bring Mia home. Today our friends and family were their as we dedicated her life to the Lord. She wouldn't go to Pastor Tom, but instead snuggled in her daddy's arms. How fitting that Pastor Tom's sermon was on prayer: God hears our prayers. Sometimes it seems like he is denying them, but he WILL answer them, in his time. WOW! did we ever experience that first hand with Mia. At times it felt as if God wasn't hearing our prayers - how could one more thing come up to delay Mia from coming home? But today we celebrated answered prayers and a new member of God's family.

What a beautiful family you all are. How neat that the message was so fitting. He TRULY does hear our prayers and brings His paln to pass on our lives-- our children are testimony to this.

Beautiful dress!!
