Her youth group is small and thus easier to bond. While the age range is huge (in the group), there are several about her age and she bonds really well with them. Zaky has also started to join her youth after the youth camp late last year. He still joins me for Sunday service in FMC and I am very grateful for his companion.
A few weeks back, Nana asked if she can be baptised in her church. She sounded like she thought I might say no. Of course she can go ahead. I had been exploring the idea myself for a while. A long time back, I did picture our family being baptised together but am glad that God has spoken to her and made her go ahead. There is no need to wait for us. In fact, I couldn’t be more proud that she is genuinely seeking God and not attending church/ youth bcos we made her do so.
Her baptism took place during church service on Easter Sunday. We have attended her church service several times but I still prefer FMC. It is that familiarity and “at home” feeling when I am in FMC.
There were a total of 10 people getting baptised and the baptism took place at the start of the service while worship was on-going. Nana was getting baptised together with one of her youths.

It was a very long worship… for like an hour. Zzzz…
It was such a touching and emotional moment. She is the 1st in our family to be baptised. What touched me more was when I saw Nana hugged Daddy Lim and Zaky. Zaky hugged her so tightly again after service. Daddy Lim and I are born in the era that such physical touches in family (with our own parents and siblings) is rare and probably awkward.
Did you see the broccoli flower in Nana’s hand? Her friend gifted that to her. So cute right? Then I saw another baptised person has an even bigger bouquet of vegetables. So funny.
I asked Zaky if he wanted to be baptised too. He said to wait until he feels that it is the right timing. I prayed that God will touch his heart too. Amen!
