Jackson's Baptism

It was so special to have Jackson baptized by Jason in the creek at camp in front of all of our amazing staff.  

Jackson accepted Christ on January 19, 2012.  We were overjoyed.  About a week after that I had a moment while driving when I heard a song that spoke to my heart.  It was one of those moments you stop what you're doing (or in my case pull your car over) and know God is speaking to you.  I had been thanking Christ for allowing Jackson to be a part of his kingdom forever and there is not a better gift I could ask for as a believing mother.  I had just been praying about Jackson and as he lives his life forward as a believer that he would deepen everyday his relationship with Christ.  That  God would do whatever he needed to do in my little Bub's life to make him know that Jesus is Lord.  That Jackson would glorify God with his life.  That he would really know his Savior.  In a nutshell, I realized I wanted Jackson to be "captivated" by Christ.  Yes, That was the word.  My prayer is that my son would be captivated by his Savior.

Your face is beautiful

And your eyes are like the stars

Your loving arms they draw me near

And Your smile brings me peace

Draw me closer oh my Lord

Draw me closer Lord to Thee

Your voice is powerful

And Your words are radiant bright

In Your breath and shadow

I will come close and abide

You whisper love and life divine

And Your fellowship is free

Draw me closer O my Lord

Draw me closer Lord to Thee

Let everything be lost in the shadows

Of the light of Your face

Let every chain be broken from me

As I'm bound in Your grace

For Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light

You're full of wisdom, power and might

And every eye will see you

Captivate Us, Lord Jesus

Set our eyes on You

Devastate us with Your presence falling down

And rushing river, draw us nearer

Holy fountain consume us with You

Captivate us Lord Jesus, with You
