Sunday.

today seemed like a day that God planned specially and meticulously for gerlynn, and i believe that was the case indeed. it was such a happy day; one of the happiest in my life thus far, and i wasn't even the one getting baptized.

"the fact that your parents came made the day so much more amazing than if they hadn't!"

"ya! like five times better!" she chimed, as if it were measurable.

gerlynn's parents decided to attend her baptism. it sounds simple to the ear but it meant so much, i can hardly encapsulate the significance it held and feelings we had in words.

"ONE BIG FAT ANSWERED PRAYER!" i told jacob just now.

till now i am still brimming with thankfulness to God. gerlynn was willing to trust that God had His perfect timing, even if it wasn't now, for her parents to come and hear the Word and see how we're like. and for that submissiveness God gave her the boost she needed as she entered her membership.

hope.

and to our revelation we discovered that apparently, she had an army of people praying for her desire to realize. well, not an army. but a handful of very thoughtful people who knew how important it was to her. she appreciates every one of you, know that! :)

"SAY THANKS 2 GOD RIGHT NOW!" i wrote on my notes and shoved it to gerlynn, halfway during the sermon, when her parents waltzed in and we were shocked stupid. i hardly use numbers as replacements for words. it is tacky. but the situation called for extremely speedy writing so i made an exception.

i am so glad that her baptism day exceeded all expectation. i am so happy for her.
