BOOK COVER Picture 1 Lia bounced onto the couch, holding up her fingers. “Mom! Only ten more days until my baptism! That’s like… forever! Can’t we just do it tomorrow?” Picture 2 Mom smiled and tucked a loose curl behind Lia’s ear. “I know you’re excited, sweetheart. Baptism is a special day! But remember, waiting isn’t just about counting days—it’s about preparing our hearts.” Picture 3 Lia sighed. “But I am ready! I’ve been ready since last week!” Picture 4 Mom chuckled. “Let’s read a story before bed. I think you’ll like this one.” Picture 5 Lia snuggled under her blanket as Dad opened the scriptures. “Did you know Jesus had to wait for something really special too?” he asked. Lia’s eyes widened. “Really? What?” Picture 6 Dad smiled. “His ministry! Jesus was twelve years old when He taught in the temple, but He didn’t start teaching people everywhere until He was thirty.” Picture 7 “Thirty?!” Lia sat up. “That’s so long!” Mom nodded. “But while He waited, He prepared. He learned, prayed, and listened to His Father in Heaven. When the time was right, He was ready.” Picture 8 Lia thought for a moment. “So… waiting isn’t just waiting?” Dad kissed her forehead. “Exactly. It’s about what we do while we wait.” Picture 9 The next morning, Lia woke up with a new thought. Picture 10 “What if I get extra ready for my baptism?” Picture 11 She helped her little brother tie his shoes. Picture 12 She listened carefully during family prayer. Picture 13 She even asked Grandma about her own baptism day. Picture 14 At bedtime, Lia grinned. “Mom, Dad! Only nine more days until my baptism… and I’m still getting ready!” Mom hugged her tight. “That’s the best kind of waiting, Lia. Jesus is so proud of you.” Picture 15 Lia closed her eyes, her heart full. Baptism was still days away, but she already felt closer to Jesus.
