It is a rare occasion when I am able to visit a friend’s Church on the same Sunday that I am running sound at our Church. ‘Carrow decided to keep both Grace and Cole home this morning and give them more rest before we jump back into a crazy week. It is also a rare occasion when I am the one writing the post but today was one of those days I told ‘Carrow I wanted to write. I received an awesome message a few days back from a couple of dear friends that became close to Kayleigh and our entire family when Kayleigh was first diagnosed with DIPG. I received the message that our friend had prayed to receive Christ and he was going to be baptized today and invited us to join in on this important day. So this morning the service time could not have been a better fit in before our late service today. The service started with some awesome praise and worship that led up to the Baptism of many. Our friends just happened to be in the first group being baptized and we were invited to join them at the front of the church. The congregation was cheering as each group made their way to the baptismal waters. Before each group was baptized, each personal testimony was read to the entire congregation. I joined in with the family and friends at the front of the church surrounding our friends as their testimonies were read for everyone to hear. And then I hear my daughters name clearly spoken as to why this person had been moved to see they needed a change in their life. Yes we have received messages from all over how Kayleigh’s story have changed many lives, but today I was able to hear it and see it in person and see dear friends with Jesus in their hearts. I pray that her story continues to show the Faith , Hope , and Love that we have in our Savior Jesus Christ, to a world that truly needs it.
Gal 3:27
And All who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.
I heard Kayleigh’s name and honestly couldn’t hold back tears because it was an extremely proud moment of my child and her story that God continues to use for his glory and to grow his Kingdom. What is holding you back?
Thank you for the continued prayers. As of this evening Cole is much more mobile and is dealing with the pain better than before and his battle scar is healing nicely. Please keep our friend that had the ATV accident yesterday in yours prayers. The lord has been good to protect him, but he still needs prayers for continued healing.
Until Tomorrow,
Mr. Whiskers
Kayleigh loved seeing Mr. Andy ride for her.
Fits today’s baptism.
No words. Just gratitude for our friends.
