That is what my niece said to me after she was baptized by Brian on Sunday. Oh, what a great weekend it was! I invited my niece, Hayley, to stay with us on Friday night and Grandma Janet on Saturday night. Of course, she was ecstatic and couldn't wait to be here with us.
So, Friday as I was tucking her in she asked me about baptism and Jesus. I explained to her what we believe based upon the bible. We read a few scriptures out of the bible that I was given by my aunt and uncle when I was 12(Good News Version). She said she understood, but was not ready to say the prayer. I told her that was okay and to simply let me know if she wanted to pray together or if she had more questions.
Anyways, we all had a great day together on Saturday and then she left to stay the night with Janet. Sunday morning(15 minutes before service) she told me that she asked Jesus to come into her heart on Saturday night!!! I have a group of ladies at church that have been praying for her salvation for over a year. My father-in-law prays for her every day as well. Oh, my heart could not have been filled with more joy! It was so precious.
So, I asked her if she would like to be baptized and she said yes. So, in 15 minutes, we called her parents for permission, talked to the Pastor and got her extra clothes and she was ready for baptism. It was awesome! And it was so great that Brian was able to do it. It was so special to me. Praise God for His goodness.

I'm rejoicing with you and the angels! :-) So Fabulous; Praise the Lord!
One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.
They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
Psalm 145:4-5
...and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:3b
Then Jesus told them this parable: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Luke 15:3-7
