Brooke got baptized today! Woooo!!
Today I woke up at 5:45am. Yuck, but I was pumped, today was Brooke's baptism! So I jump out of bed and get ready, shower, straighten, and out the door. We all headed down to the river in Duncan, and it was pretty deserted, the service was to start at about 8:00am, and we got there probably 7:45. We met up with some family and walked to the river. The kids were pretty frustrated that they couldn't go swimming with Brooke, but they got over and started to draw in the sand.
Soon, it was pretty pack with the pastors and people who had come to see their loved ones get baptized.After we sang some hymns with nothing but our lead pastors guitar, he lined up all the people getting in the river. There was quite a few people, about 9. The oldest was 69 and the youngest was 9. They all got a chance to say something. We were there for Brooke but we were also glad to see a guy from BCTeenChallenge get baptized. We've been hanging out with some of the guys from that program, and they are all inspiring in there own right.They were also beyond pumped for Brooke. One of the guys that has really connected with us gave everyone big high fives. He always plays with the kids and it just like a big brother to them.
So soon it's Brooke's turn to get in the water. I was bit emotional, it was so neat to get to see her make this promise to God. It was absolutely beautiful. Then after we were done, I got to meet some family friends that I hadn't met yet. Gave my Lord of the Rings DVDs to the BCTeenChallenge guys, because they all have to see those movies so that we can hang out with them. Just kidding! But they need to watch them.
Then it was Church time, it was a beautiful service with the worship being done by Trevor Dick from Compassion. He is the best violinist ever. It was stunning music.
After church we went home for a nap. Zzzzzzz.
Then it was KidzZone (used to be Kidtown) time! There were a video camera crew because our church is being shown at a World Leader Summit. But we just acted normal and had a wonderful day at Kidz Zone. I really love playing with the kids down there. They are all so special to my heart.
Then it was home time, and life didnt stop there, we have to give our new puppy, our cat and our dog flea baths.... yuck.
Now its about 7:50pm. I'm beyond tired, but I'm going to try to get in some bio questions and finish my facebook scrabble games.
Thank the Lord for the best day today!
