On June 18, 2000, I noticed something had gone missing for about a week. So on June 20, 2000, I decided it was time to purchase the dreaded (at least at that point in my life!) pregnancy test. It took some time before there was any sign the test was working, but when it did, the two purple lines showed up with intensity. Yup, I was pregnant.
After crying like I myself was a baby, I got to a point where I was excited about the little person growing inside of me. This baby was a blessing from God and I would treat the situation as such. I prayed over my pea-sized little bean - as I called it - and even promised God I would dedicate the little life inside of me to Him if He would make everything okay. A lot of emotion comes along with an unexpected pregnancy and mine was just that - unexpected.
I met Jay on February 23, and I was sure to make good on my promise and dedicate her life back to God because she is a gift from Him - she is on loan to us from God. Babe and I have made it a point to keep Jay in constant learning about our Christian faith. She has always enjoyed Sunday church service and soaked up all her Christian child care center had to offer about her Lord and Savior. Jay even teaches Sunday School to her baby dolls and has worship service - she's done that since she was three years old.
So it didn't surprise me when she told me she wanted to be baptized.
