~Nathan's Baptism~

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 Jn 1:4

Nathan seemed to have an understanding of Biblical things at an early age.  He asked for months to be saved and we kept putting him off because we wanted to be sure he understood.  One day he just came out and told us he prayed and asked God to save him from his sins.  We have questioned him several times and he certainly seems to have a good understanding for his young mind.

Shortly after Nathan accepted Jesus as his Savior in December he started asking to be baptized.  We kept putting him off because we wanted to be sure he knew what he was talking about.  Well, we could push him off no longer... I was afraid he was going to baptize himself if we didn't let him!  He also talked to the pastor several times and asked him to be baptized.  Our pastor was happy to do it this Sunday.

Pastor could not remember who was with Nathan when he prayed (mom or dad) so he asked Nathan... " Who did you talk to when you got saved" (meaning mom or dad)  Nathan simply answered... "I talked to God."  I love that!
