Eight is a big year for children in my church because at age eight a child can choose to be baptized. Newt had been looking forward to last night for as long as she can remember. A couple of weeks ago, my shy terrified child shocked me by declaring that she wanted to tell the church how she feels about her God. She was so scared that she even cried a little on the way to the podium, but she felt like she really needed to do it.
This is what she said:
I want to share my testimony. I love God and I know he loves me. He is my very best friend in the whole world.
Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 18:3
Precious! What a beautiful testimony!

I so enjoyed her testimony that day. I could tell she was nervous and a little scared, but she was so sure in what she said. She’s so cute!

I really enjoyed her testimony, too. What a sweetie. I’m sorry I missed the baptism. I’m still having a hard time getting around, and church pretty much did me in. I was thinking of you, though, and sending prayers your way.
