Claire enters God's Covenant Family

On Sunday, we had Claire baptized with all of our immediate family watching (except uncle Ryan). It was so special to see Claire's grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and uncle's girlfriends surrounding her with love! However, it didn't hit me until later that night what a serious thing we had just done. Don't get me wrong, I've always believed in baptism and known that it was an important sign for Christian parents to show their children, but as I was lying in bed, it really hit me that we had just committed Claire to God and were trusting in Him to make her His one day. How awesome is that?! The God who promises that nothing can separate us from His love is watching over our daughter and guiding her little life! Obviously she will have to claim that promise as her own one day, but I felt an immense calm and joy as I grasped the reality of what baptism means.
