Douglas was baptized this morning at church.
I cried
This is something I’ve been praying about since I’ve came back to God.
When our marriage was struggling Elizabeth let me borrow a great book (which I still need to get back to her)
It’s called “The Power of a Praying Wife” by Stormie Omartian

I never really thought to pray for my husbands salvation. Which just shows how selfish I am truely. So I started praying for him. Especially when things got tough.
I also prayed to God to change me, to make me a better wife, to understand him and to be a light to him.

I don’t think it was me fully. God was amazing and placed some great Godly men into Douglas’ life. David && Phil mainly. Those guys are great.
Doug started going to “breakfast with the boys” on Saturday mornings thanks to Dave.
Then Dave invited him to a bible study with Phil && him.
That really started opening Doug’s eyes to God’s word.

Doulgas wasn’t going to tell me he was joining the church && getting baptized until today. But I found out, mainly becaues its hard to have a private word with Douglas at church when we are inseperable lol.

But today he stood up there with about about 6 other people. Some were re-affirming their faith and becoming actual members of the church (like Dave) and then there were others who were professing their faith for the first time (like Douglas and a few others)

Doug was the only one to be baptized today.
Here is a scripture reference I found on baptism;

1 Peter 3:21

²¹and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

I can not express the exact feeling when Douglas was professing his faith, nor can I tell you the feeling when I watched Pastor Rodger lay his hands on him and baptize him.

I cried.

I’m not ashamed.

I am beyond proud of my husband. I knew he has been a believer for awhile, our marriage has been getting amazingly better ever since he started…but watching him profess his faith, gave me such peace.

The man laying his hands on Douglas is Pastor Rodger. The other man is Phil. I’m so glad we met Dave && Phil.

I also love how in the picture there is the American Flag.
This is who Douglas is now.

Not only a solider of the United States Army.
But a Solider of God.

On a totally diffrent note. I watched Prince Caspian.
I love it.
No, it does not totally go along with the book, but what movie does?

I loved it more then the first one. I cried (no shocker there)
&&
Also am in LOVE with the song The Call by Regina Spektor.
It was in the last scene.

I have downloaded it and have listened to it for the past hour.

Its beautifully composed && her voice is stunning in this particular song.

The lyrics also make me cry.

Gosh today has been emotional.

Seriously listen to the song.
