Isabel being baptized

We are told by the world that we should be most proud of our kids when they get good grades, get into the gifted and talented program at school, graduate with honors, go to a good college, pick a good career, get married, and have children. BUT, I can not think of anything that makes Brad and I more proud than to know that our daughter has chosen to follow Christ and help to further His kingdom. Is there anything else in this life that matters? (: All to say, the children's Pastor at our church, along with Brad, baptized Isabel tonight and she was so excited! We are so excited to know that she wants to follow Christ! She knows that it doesn't mean life will be any easier or that bad things won't happen, but that through it all God will be with her and help her through all things. It amazes me that at 8 years old, she gets it! We are so thankful that God chose us to parent amazing, dramatic, talented girl! I pray we can continue to parent her the way that God wants us to and that we can guide her well.
