Mazy Grace’s Baptism
Sunday was an incredible day.
Not only were we able to celebrate Mother’s Day, but it was also the day Mazy Grace was baptized!
Since my husband works as a youth pastor for 2 churches, we had a combined afternoon service. We gathered in the fellowship hall, since the sanctuary is currently torn down, and celebrated one of the greatest moments of being parents thus far. To see both churches welcome our child into their “family” and promise to walk alongside of us, brought tears to my eyes! We could not be more thankful for the love and support we have been given and we are eager to raise Mazy Grace to know the Lord and lead by example by walking in His footsteps.
Here is the video that Dan made for the baptism, which spans Mazy’s life thus far:
Some pictures from the day:
I just never imagined holding our child and Dan presenting her for baptism. It took everything in me to not become a blubbery mess up there!
The dress my sisters and I, and my 4 nieces wore, for baptism. Keeping the tradition alive!
I tried to get pictures of Mazy in her dress, but she was just so excited to wear it and get baptized, that it was hard to get a clear picture!
We were blessed that our youth group were willing to lead us worship! Blessed Be Your Name and Amazing Grace were definitely on the song list! It was such a beautiful service and we can not take credit for any of it! We appreciate all those who were involved!
We were blessed to have both of our parents out for the baptism and celebrate with them. Can’t even begin to express how much that meant to us!
Me and my girl!
What a day to celebrate! It was very overwhelming for me personally because I often cried tears of sadness on Mother’s Day and at baptisms. I just longed to experience the joy of what those occasions bring. Little did I know that God was saying “just wait, my child…your day will come!” And now to look back and realize that our prayers are continually being answered, just puts me in awe of what God can do. How deep the Father’s love for us! How beautiful and humbling that feeling is.
