Zion

For the last few weeks, Zion has been asking about baptism and wanting to know if he could get baptized. So Trevor has really been talking to him to make sure he really understands what it means to get baptized. He seems to truly understand and have a great knowledge of baptism and communion. So Trevor pretty much decided that the next time he asked to be baptized, we’d let him. (He’s only 6 and we were hoping he’d wait a few years. But didn’t really want to hold him from it either. )

Zion didn’t say any more about it until this morning during church. He asked during song service if he could be baptized. So we let him. Trevor took him in the back and Zion was baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by Bro. Rogers. I’m so proud of him. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t have my camera with me, so I don’t have pictures of his big day. Oh well.

After we got home from church, the boys were in their room changing into play clothes, and Trevor and I heard Zion telling Riah about the baptism. He said, “When I got baptized, I felt in my heart that I really loved church.” I wanted to cry. Sometimes getting Zion to go to church is such a battle. He never seemed to want to go without a fight. I guess now we shall see if he truly did have a change of heart.
