Last Sunday

These photos were taken at church last Sunday. This day has been a while in the coming, beginning with Bobbi's inpatient rehab stay at Gillette last November and December. She surprised us (greatly!) by telling us when she was packing to go to the hospital that she did NOT want her music, but wanted instead the Bible that our Bulgarian friend Silvana had purchased for her over a year ago. Any of you who know ANYTHING about Bobbi know that she'd rather go without breathing than be without her music. Her music is her life.

So, off she went, and about halfway through her stay, I posted this.

Soon after, she started building up her music again, with this as the first song:



It's been quite a ride since then, and we anticipate it will continue to be so, but it's now nearly a year later, and this remains the focus of most of her days. She's spent a good deal of time talking with us and with her pastor before deciding to take the step of being baptized - she has many doubts, primarily about herself, but decided it was right for her to act in obedience to Jesus by being baptized and publicly declaring in front of the church congregation that she has chosen a life of trusting and following Jesus.

I realize this is a bit much to mush something that we're almost a year into now into one short little post, but that's the way it's got to come if it's going to come this week before those pictures are a month (or more!) old!
