So this past Sunday, our little man was baptized. It was really lovely to share this with the church, but also to give him two sets of godparents.
In England, this is quite common, but for me, this was very new and it was a blessing to be introduced to it. It can of course, be a simple case of picking people who give good presents. Or it could be a situation where you are good friends and picked people for that reason. However, as Christians, there's more than that. It's a very real accountability to people who are taking a vested interest in the life your child will lead--Lord willing--in Christ. And for Mark and I, it is also making a familial connection in England. We asked our dear friends Daniel and Brooke Newman and Will and Katie Corrie to be the godparents for Colin. We are so blessed to have them as both couples have been very indispensable to us in so many ways, but most importantly in spiritual relationship. We are grateful for their faithfulness and their willingness to walk alongside us as we raise Colin. But we're also grateful for a further feeling of family and rootedness here in England. So here's to many years rejoicing in God's faithfulness together! (And here's a few pics of the baptized boy as well :) )
