In life, there are moments that make you sit back in awe, not only at the God we serve but the life He has blessed us with. I had a moment like that as I watched Andy baptize Ross on Saturday night. I've sent through hundreds of baptisms and each one affects me differently but as I watched Ross give his testimony and then watched Andy baptize him, I was struck by how God has worked in his life. In a large church, there aren't a lot of times that you hear an individual church member's name mentioned in prayer time but when Ross was only 3 weeks old, he was struggling to survive, as he laid at St. Mary's Medical Center on a ventilator-the result of RSV. As I set as the hospital with him, I had no idea that he was being prayed for in the Sunday morning service, but God worked in his life. God gave him a full recovery, and He has continued to do great things in his life. After he was baptized, they once again prayed for Ross and my heart was touched. In life, there are moments that take your breath away-those moments I'm thankful for the One who gives me breath.
