Baptism

May 29, 2011 was a very special day.  Our sweet Callie Jae was baptized by Pastor Scott at St. Peter's.  It was a very special day because my brother Jim and sister-in-law Jenny were able to be here to help celebrate.  We chose them to be Godparents to our Callie Jae because of their compassion for life and our children.  They are both so special to us and we could not have asked for a better brother and sister.  


The element makes Baptism a little extra special by having the parents choose a life verse and create a prayer for the baby.  We chose Jeremiah 29:  11-13 for Callie Jae:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart.

Callie Jae,

Today you are blessed in the presence of God.  As you continue through life’s journey, may you seek Him in times of joy and in sorrow.  May He be there to celebrate your accomplishments and comfort you in times of need. 

Dear Lord, please give our family the strength and wisdom to raise a faithful, strong, and loving woman.  Let us lead by example and teach Callie Jae to be one with You in her daily life.  

We love you Callie Jae!
