Swimming to Baptism

This week is crazy busy with it being Holy Week plus all the regular stuff we do. And Shaeleigh has started swimming lessons this week, too. We are hoping at the end of the lessons she will be less afraid of the water and be willing to be baptized. At the moment she refuses to put her head in the water, and we definitely don't want her baptism to be a traumatic event, so we will see how it goes. If you feel so inclined, please pray for her. She has an amazing faith but says she is not a Christian because she hasn't been baptized, and says that she will get baptized when she is 13 (or 18 - depending on the day you ask :-p) I can see how there are those who could say that they have known God their whole lives. Both she and Brendan just believe. There is no doubt that God exists. We would like to join the Church as a family, but will not force either of our children to be baptized if they refuse. Brendan says he's ready.
